| DC deferred. 1490 SAT, not sure of the recalculated GPA, but took 5 APs and the average seems to be 10 - 15. Not every high school offers so many. |

From what type of high school and from which state did they apply? |

Maryland private - very unexpected bc not many AP classes offered (and no IB) so didn’t think GPA would be high enough when UGA recalculated (but did have only one B+ on transcript). |

| Did Georgia say how many OOS were deferred vs. rejected? We were surprised by the deferral. 12 APs, high GPA, 35 ACT not superscored. |

With those stats I'm guessing deferment is sort of a yield protect in the sense to see if at regular admission you are still really interested and committed to going to UGA or they will know if you have moved on to better options for your kid and UGA wasn't your #1. |

How many times do people have to explain that UGA doesn’t yield protect. |

They don't yield protect. I would take the deferral as something like - we really like you but don't have enough space to keep the in state out of state balance until we start hearing back from others. I would think chances are good that they will eventually get in. Sorry for the deferral, it stinks to not know. Mine got in yesterday but then also got in to their ED as well. I suspect there are many others like this. |

Why didn’t you withdraw before admission if you had already committed elsewhere? |

Sounds like they heard on the same day or within a few days. Mine got into UVA yesterday. Fully plan to withdraw elsewhere but haven’t physically done it yet. |

| From social media, sounds like 20k+ OOS apps with 4600 admits. 32-25 ACT/1400-1510 SAT and 4.18-4.43 recalculated core GPA. |

No kidding, but they do realize an applicant with those stats is more likely than not to be heading elsewhere and UGA is not their dream school. So defer it down the road and see if they are still truly interested. |

Those averages will generally come down after Regular Admission admits as EA admits will have the highest mean stats. Also, from total early action both in-state and OOS - 34,280 Applied and 10,760 were accepted. Acceptance rate for all EA is 31.3 %. |
