They do reject. According to Graves, he expected about 20% reject.

Question. Does UGA reject applicants who apply EA or only accept/defer?

These stats are all over the place. There seems to be no clear threshold for acceptance.

Agreed! I think they shared about 20% acceptances oos actually end up going there. Many deferred will get in the regular round.

Is the that last sentence true??

I don’t believe so. I think around 13K were deferred today per Graves’ blog post. Last year around 7K total were offered admission in regular round. So it would seem like a long shot to now be in RD. Bummer for my kid who was deferred and has UGA in Top 3 but oh well such is life.

Prior year 5 kids got in to UGA in EA, over 20 deferred. 16 got in RD from deferral.

I do think many high stat OOS kids love UGA for but also may be applying elsewhere so it makes sense to me. Stay hopeful!!

Wowsers! UGA is as hard to get into as Emory and Georgia Tech!!!!!

Major?

Also, general reminder UGA recalculates GPA using their own formula.

Deferred
3.9 unweighted GPA
29 ACT
9 APs

Nothing crazy with extracurriculars

Was expecting to be rejected so the deferral was a surprise
