How about UGA?

But it does not detail a breakdown for OOS/OS rates of admission, so I had a crack at it…
22% of applicants were IS (12k of 55k)
78% of applicants were OOS (assumed from above, and includes internationals)
39% (not 44% as stated above) of the total 55k were admitted for 2024=21,450
21,450 admitted total
7,293 admitted IS (34% of total)
14,257 admitted OOS (66% of total)
The 39% overall acceptance rate
14,258/43,000=34% OOS rate
7,293/12,000=61% IS rate
(Not sure where the missing 5% went… they gave approximate numbers, and I used exact numbers, so I think a few got lost in the math?)
So an OOS kid is looking at 1 out of 3 acceptance rate.
And only 10% of all acceptances were TO. So test preferred is very real.
Low reach confirmed.
Anyone disagree/challenge this or explain the missing 5%? I want to be prepared for the counter argument 🙃
A better use of time would be applying to Alabama and Ole Miss to have safeties.
