I hope everyone is having a great start to their summer! Hi, I’m Lindsey Whittaker, Assistant Director of Admissions, and I will be handling the blog for the next 1.5+ years. While I have been with this office for five years, this is my first time working on the blog in this capacity. I appreciate your […]
A recent National Admissions meeting brought up the issue that admissions offices have some words that are unique to our specific profession, and that an admissions dictionary might be needed. In fact, one of the presenters is Carey Clinton, a UGA alum and one of our Assistant Director of Admissions. As such, I have created […]
I am happy to announce that we will begin making a limited number of offers from the wait list for the Fall 2012 term starting later today! Over 700 students have requested to stay on the Wait List (out of about 1,100 offered the option), and we will only be able to offer admission to […]

We have finished up the freshman decisions (except for the wait list decisions that we will not know about for a while), summer transfer decisions are almost completely done, and fall transfers are in mid-stream. As such, here are a few pieces of information, wisdom, and random ideas. Transfer applicants, please make sure that all […]
Final freshman decisions are now available online, and the applicant pool this year was very strong! We had roughly 19,000 applicants, which was our largest applicant pool ever. Here are a few notes about the decisions. Please do no have everyone in your family try to log onto the site. It will only slow down […]
Later today, we will be making decisions available to students. For those of you who have been admitted to UGA, here is a post for you, and a chance to comment.
