With the Early Action deadline of yesterday, here are a few updates about the process:
- Total EA Applications (10% increase over last year): 14,514
- Complete Early Action Applications as of today: 8,200
- # of EA Applicants Applying within 4 days of Deadline: 4,973
As you can see, a large number of the
Early Action applications are complete, and for EA applicants who have sent in test scores (the one item they truly control), 70% of these applicants are complete. Additionally, approximately 34% of the
total applicant pool for
EA applied right around the deadline. This means our office still
digging out from under the
thousands of documents, test scores, etc. we have received. We
appreciate your patience
as we work as quickly as possible to match documents with files.
It
takes our office about 5 to 10 business days to match a document with
an applicant’s file, and with the document/materials submission deadline of
10/22, we are
still receiving a large number of items. If your documents were
submitted by this
deadline, it
will be considered for Early Action. We are accepting the October 3
SAT
for Early Action as long as you designated UGA as a school to
automatically receive your scores, and we will import those near the end of October (10/22 is when you can see them, but they will trickle out to us the week after that), as the College Board is in the middle of changing their delivery process. As such, please make sure to give us time to receive these
scores and load them into the system.
Your Steps
Be sure to check your myStatus to make sure you are complete! If
material you have sent is not showing up on your myStatus, double-check
with your counselor, College Board, ACT, etc. to make sure that it was sent.
If a document was sent and it has been more than 10 business days (business
days do not include weekends or holidays), I would suggest either
resending the document(s) or contacting us. We do not accept faxed
documents, so make sure to send it electronically or by mail. Remember, we are okay with test scores both taken and requested by 10/15, even if they are not in our system yet.
Now that you have submitted your
application (and it is hopefully complete), take a few minutes to relax
and enjoy the fall weather and some UGA football!
Go Dawgs!
