Bless your heart.
It objectively isn’t. They only take high stats kids EA but take a lot of kids they deferred in RD. Acceptance rate is 33 percent and middle 50 percentile SAT is 1300 to 1470. It’s selective but no where near top tier selective.
So UGA rejects about 70% of applicants overall and the out of state rejection rate is higher? Every stat you cited would be considered a top flagship by any rational person.

lol good luck getting into Georgia Tech or UGA for that matter with a 3.7. But yes for the top students GT and UGA do offer phenomenal scholarships for in-state students. But, this was not the point of the OP. They were talking about OOS competitiveness.

That's not true for OOS.

Asking because 10 years ago my kid with a 27 ACT and 3.0/4.0 scale and no pre calc got off the wait list at UGA (but picked another SEC school, and went on to make deans list every semester). Is school rigor not as much of a factor at large universities anymore?
This kid got in UT, Alabama, Clemson, Ole Miss, COFC and Wofford as well. Didn’t apply to UNC (our in state school)
Top flagships don’t take counselor calls like small private colleges. Flagships don’t care about demonstrated interest. In other words, you can’t game the system. Either your kid is good enough or your kid isn’t.

UGA, like UNC, is a public university and is there to serve in-state students first. Just the way it is and they make that clear. No surprise here. It's all the same for top publics especially within the State of Georgia, UNC and UT Austin. My advice, move to a state with Top Publics.

Chapel Hill has always been insanely competitive from OOS. Always.

Anything that happened in 2015 is completely irrelevant to college admissions in 2025.
