UGA will be closed from late afternoon on December 24 through January 3, and as such, we will not be available to answer many questions. Like many of you, I will also be unavailable at times during the break, so here are a few common questions and answers to hold you over during the time […]
Happy Holidays everyone, and I hope you are enjoying (or about to start enjoying) your holiday break. Our office is still open this week, but we will be shutting down late Friday, and we do not return until January 4. As such, our office will not be opening mail, responding to email, available on the […]
The post mark application deadline is Monday, November 15 for the Foundation Fellowship and Bernard Ramsey Honors Scholarship application. We realize that many students will be starting, completing and submitting the application over the weekend and may be in a bit of a panic over the submission of supporting documents.

We talk about what worked, what needs to be tweaked (or changed altogether!), and how we can make the next […]
While about 85% of UGA applicants apply before the deadline, it is that other 15%, the ones that submit right on the deadline, that at times causes me headaches. Not major migraines or anything that bad, but more of a dull ache right behind my eyes (which explains why I am seen massaging my temples […]
There is a scene from Animal House, where Kevin Bacon’s character, Chip Diller, is shouting “Remain Calm! All is well!”, while a panicked mob crushes him as it runs away from a parade gone mad. This is how I feel about this time of year. And at times, the end result is the same, with […]
Ten days and counting until the January 15 deadline for Regular Decision applications, part II of the application for deferred students, and any and all required materials!
