In reading the different comments from students after decisions have gone out, I am reminded of the parable of the Elephant and the Six Blind Men: Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived six blind men. Each of them was very wise. Each of them had gone to school and read lots […]
For those of you who have been admitted to UGA, here is a post for you, and a chance to comment. Congratulations to all of the freshman who were admitted to UGA, and we look forward to you becoming a part of the Bulldog Nation. The next steps for a new student can be seen […]
For those of you who have been denied by UGA, here is a post for you and a chance to comment. Unfortunately, we were not able to admit a number of strong applicants, as we are limited in the size of our freshman class. We know that you have a number of other strong college […]
For those of you who have been wait-listed by UGA, here is a post for you and a chance to comment. Every year, our office has to predict approximately how many students we can admit in order to enroll our freshman class, but we can never be sure how many students will enroll until after […]
The UGA status check page is now open and freshman applicants are now able to see our final decisions.

In my mind, there are two methods of cooking; working within the scope of a recipe, and working with what you have available. When you are cooking with a recipe (let’s say a cake), you gather all of the ingredients, carefully measure out everything that is on the list, mix the ingredients, and get everything […]
Right now, there are two things going on; one, our office is knee deep/swamped/up to our ears, etc. with file reading, and two, you are waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for us to finish reading. But I know that the moment we release decisions, a wide range of urban legends will suddenly reappear. In […]
The status check is now back and open for viewing, and the small wave of freshman February admit decisions that I discussed earlier are now showing up on the site.
