is anyone familiar with uga admissions bc it’s been so strange the last few years. They’ve been deferring people with stats that could get them into ivy type schools and accepting those with much more inferior credentials. I mean, i know someone who had a 2340 sat, an almost perfect gpa, all the ec’s, and was hispanic who got deferred!!! for me, this is very discouraging news as i have pretty average(maybe a little above avg) resume for uga. I’m seriously starting to think they either pull names out of a hat or throw darts at a wall with a bunch of applicant’s names on it. I’ve also heard a theory(does not make much sense to me) that some colleges dont accept applicants with superior stats that are far above the university’s expectations and standards for applicants bc they believe those kinds of students are better than that school and should be applying to and attending way better schools.
