Will your kid stay on the waitlist if offered?

countdown begins. i only hope they take right decision. EA offers were 9500. only way to see better result is if these students withdraw if they dont intend to join UGA giving scope for new RD group.

OP here. Good luck all. Not gonna lie, so stressful to read the blog post today. Tis the season of deferrals and waitlists

I’d be thrilled w a waitlist for my kid but my gut tells me a rejection is the most likely outcome

Such a great school!

Yep - Lots of waitlist.

I’m taking his update to mean way less RD offers next Friday

DD got waitlisted at Tennessee so fully prepared for the rejection coming from UGA

OOOOOOOF. And here I told myself I was going to be one of those parents able to maintain calm and not spin in worry. And I was. Until this month, when child's nerves are just about radiating out from her skin.
(Ok--maybe not quite that dramatic.)
Solidarity with fellow parents in wait watching our kiddos in wait for news.

Did anyone see the update from Dr. Graves today? Does this mean we are in for a bloodbath?

Prob our hs. too. I am hoping most of them didn't fill out the update form, as it isn't a lot of kids 1st choice, but it is my DCs.

I have a child at UF, and one that will be starting at UGA. Both are good schools, with UF being slightly harder to get into.
Look at the CDS for each school in order to get an accurate idea of the statistics for ENROLLED students. UT Austin is by far the hardest for OOS kids to get accepted into, followed by UF, then UGA. 75th percentile UGA is 32 and UF's is 33. Keep in mind that these are super scores, where UT doesn't accept super scores.
One major drawback of UF is the significant number of online classes, which I’ve found disappointing. As a parent of a UF student, I don't believe the academics are on par with UT, UVA, UMich, UNC, or UW-Madison.

Does anyone have an idea about merit scholarships if admitted regular but deferred EA? DD admitted with great merit everywhere else (U Miami, FSU, Alabama, FIU, Auburn ) but UGA was her first choice lol. Holding out hope but being realistic...

What can one do to increase their chances in RD?? I agree with OP- this wait is excruciating!!

Good luck to all waiting on deferral answers.

OP - what is your kids other choices if they don't get into UGA?
