+1 OOS is extremely hard. We know several top kids that didn’t get in.

Depends what you mean by 'extremely' I guess....I think that would suggest single digit OOS admit rate. Perhaps single digit OOS acceptance rates could get a "impossible" category then.

For this year’s EA group, the EA acceptance rate for In-State applicants was roughly 42%, and the acceptance rate for Out-of-State applicants was roughly 23%

Oh please. 77% of OOS applications were rejected. Go away if you don’t have anything useful to contribute.

I thought stating accurate facts would be useful especially since PP stated it was similar to HYP for admissions for OOS. I didn't want to deter any parents from having their kid apply based on such assertions.

It's a great school and they do a great tour. We went in June and Athens was still very lively.

I live in Athens and teach at UGA - there are hotels very close to campus and downtown (Springhill Suites Downtown, Holiday Inn Express, Hyatt Place, Hotel Indigo, Georgia Center), others farther away but still in Athens, and lots of AirBnBs. Rates range but are reasonable as long as it's not a home game weekend or parents' weekend or graduation. Covington is an hour away.

Go Dawgs! Sic 'em! Woof woof!

Try not to go during a home football game weekend. Accommodation in Athens is scarce /expensive. If you must go, stay in a suburb like Covington which is an easy drive from Athens and close enough to Atlanta.

Plan for the drive from Atlanta to Athens to be at least 2 hours. We landed at 7pm on a Thursday night and traffic around Atlanta was crazy, even at that time of night.

Worth doing. Campus is massive (tour is partly on a bus) so it may be too big for some kids. Athens is amazing. My kid loved it. Sadly did not get in.

DD has become obsessed with the idea of going south, particularly UGA. Does anyone have recent visit tips or experiences?
