[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was an EA admit. We visited the school two weeks ago and were both blown away. He is choosing UGA over UF, Clemson, FSU, Penn State, and VT.  We did the 'New DAWGS' day, but honestly, I think the admitted student tour would be just as good. For the tours and New Dawgs Day, keep checking for openings, since spots do open up ( This is how we got ours). [/quote]

This is helpful. What about the visit blew you away? [/quote]

We both loved the town and the campus—you really have to visit to understand what a cool town and atmosphere UGA has.

The business school was impressive. He actually prefers that it’s not a direct-admit program like UF, FSU, or Clemson. He feels this structure fosters stronger peer networks and engagement, provides more personalized attention and better resources, and that he could benefit from the added selectivity. I could give more specifics, but these are the main things that swayed him to choose UGA.

UF - He did not like the campus or the surrounding area. He also did not like that around 25% of classes are online if you are a business major.
FSU - Loved the campus, but the business school is not as good as UGA's.
Clemson - Not as good of a business school or overall. The town was in the middle of nowhere. 
Penn State - Too large. 
VT - The vibe just wasn't there for my son. He loved everything else about the school though.
