Agreed! I think they shared about 20% acceptances oos actually end up going there. Many deferred will get in the regular round.

Is the that last sentence true??

Prior year 5 kids got in to UGA in EA, over 20 deferred. 16 got in RD from deferral.

Major?

Also, general reminder UGA recalculates GPA using their own formula.

I do think many high stat OOS kids love UGA for but also may be applying elsewhere so it makes sense to me. Stay hopeful!!

I don’t believe so. I think around 13K were deferred today per Graves’ blog post. Last year around 7K total were offered admission in regular round. So it would seem like a long shot to now be in RD. Bummer for my kid who was deferred and has UGA in Top 3 but oh well such is life.

These stats are all over the place. There seems to be no clear threshold for acceptance.

Question. Does UGA reject applicants who apply EA or only accept/defer?

They do reject. According to Graves, he expected about 20% reject.
