[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes it does - UGA made the preference for state residents explicit this year.[/quote]

Then this is a very recent change in Univ. of Georgia's admissions policy.[/quote]

Apparently, they’ve always kept OOS numbers limited, but this year’s increase in OOS applications will make the difference noticeable.

The UGA applicant pool has grown at a substantial rate recently. If you look at the number of applicants over the past 10 years, you will see tremendous growth in our applicant pool both in size and in academic strength. We have gone from 11,000 EA applicants for 2013 to 26,000 EA applicants this year, and we expect the overall applicant pool (EA and RD together) to show similar growth. In addition, the applicant pool has flipped from roughly 65% In-State applicants in 2013 to 40% In-State applicants this year. As such, our admissions process has had to adapt as well. As a part of UGA’s role as the flagship university for the state of Georgia, we have a commitment to serve the state of Georgia. The stated goal for UGA for 2023 and beyond is to maintain a rough balance for enrolling freshmen (not admitted students but enrolling students) at 80% In-State and 20% Out-of-State. Over the last few years, this has meant a slight difference in the admission process for in-state vs out-of-state, but I expect that it will be much more pronounced in 2023 and beyond. UGA still wants a strong, broad based freshman class, and we want students from all around the country and the world to enroll here, but we must do this within the scope of the desired 80/20 enrollment balance.[/quote]
