For all of you who are waiting anxiously by your computer/mailbox, nervous about your Early Action decision, here is some good news. UGA is planning on releasing the EA decisions on the myStatus page on Friday, November 18 in the late afternoon (unless some serious problem arises, which I do not expect). We are excited about this, and I am guessing you are as well, and hopefully it will allow for a little less nerve-wracking Thanksgiving break. In addition to the decisions being available on the myStatus page, letters will go out in the mail for Accepted, Deferred and Incomplete students. Freshman denial letters will not be mailed out, as almost all applicants see their decisions online, and we (along with a number of colleges) did not want to have a letter that only served to reinforce the negative feelings they might already have.
I will not be able to access the blog for most of the decision weekend (chaperoning a youth retreat), but I will try to have someone in my office monitor the site and try to help with any questions. Please remember, though, that we cannot answer questions about other students on the blog, that an Early Action decision is based primarily on academic information, and to make sure you do not try to compare yourselves to others, as you most likely do not have all of the information that we do about the entire applicant pool. In addition, I will be sharing more details about the EA applicant pool the week after decisions are released, but I will not have the data on hand over the weekend, as we are focused on getting the decisions out first, not running statistics.
Go Dawgs!
