Emory is still the best school in the state. Top 25 school for undergrad while, Gatech is Top 50. The difference is UGA has gotten much better and has been able to almost match Gatech in the rankings. And now it's Law school is the best in the state so great for UGA but for pretty much every other subject Emory offers, Emory is better.

Paying basically nothing for an in-state high stats student to attend UGA rather than $80k to attend Emory is a no-brainer.

I honestly don't think it's a no brainer. GaTech I could understand the decision to save money but UGA isn't there yet, and no wise parent who could afford it would choose otherwise.

+1 UGA is good but people in Herr are hyping it up because their DC's can't get into better schools.

Uga has become a lot more difficult for oos students, the in state percent began to drop so last year they started to push it back up. If you don’t already read David Graves, UGA admissions blog, it has lots of information. Like others said the hope/zell scholarship entice lots of high achieving instate students to stay instate for free tuition.

Athens is a great college town, but is now a bit crowded.

This. My friend's son graduated from the Honors College and just made Law Review at Harvard.

Where did you get that information?

Georgia has very generous scholarship programs to keep top students instate. Google it.

Does look generous. Looks like the top 14% are offerred scholarships. However, can't find any info regarding "many" turning down Ivies to attend.

Pretty sure that it is much closer to the top 100%. Not sure how you arrived at the 14% figure.

From the school. References incoming freshman. https://www.admissions.uga.edu/afford/scholarships/

I see the confusion. These are academic merit awards/scholarships from UGA, not from the State of Georgia's Zell Miller Scholarship Program. The 14% figure is probably for non-residents or supplements to residents above the Zell Miller award of full tuition. All in the Honors College have--or should have--scholarships. 88% of the total undergrad students body (28,000 students) receive grants or scholarship awards.

You will have to engage in a google search. Many do,and many do not apply to schools in the Northeast US. Over several decades, I have met & spoken with many Foundation Fellows students all of whom had many acceptances including Ivy League schools.

Among non-Foundation Fellows Honors College students, options vary, but do often include Ivy League acceptances.

Lots of students will say they turn down Ivies. Hard to know if they are telling the truth.

One website states that 88% (over 26,600 undergrad students) received grants or scholarships for 2020-2021 school year while another states that 14% received merit scholarships. Among the Honors College students--about 10% of the undergraduate student population--about 100% receive merit scholarship awards. Certainly the Georgia residents in the UGA Honors College all receive full tuition scholarships (Zell Miller Scholarships).
