The Office of Admissions at UGA recognizes that many applicants will be discouraged to learn that they have not been offered First-Year admission to UGA. We have designed the list below to answer some of the questions that you may have about the admissions process at UGA.
No. While some students may believe that it was their score on the standardized test that kept them from being admitted, it is usually their choice of courses and performance in the classroom which could have been improved. Many people find that our Admissions Urban Legends page addresses their questions.
No. We will not be able to place any student who has been denied admission on the Wait List.
