15 minutes in, roughly 8,000 decisions received, 4 deposits in, 35 deposit being submitted. Welcome New Dawgs!

Had to ban a person on the admissions blog today. Only rule I have is don’t insult other people (other students, parents or the admissions staff). Not a difficult rule, but emotions run high the days after decisions go out. Everyone be kind out there.

A new UGA Admissions blog post has been published, details of our overall EA decisions (both In-State and OOS). admissions.uga.edu/blog/2025-uga-…

Every year, there is confusion in college admissions over admitted vs enrolling students. UGA plans to enroll a class of 6,200 freshman, but not all admits will enroll. Roughly 55% of in-state admits enroll, & maybe 18% of OOS admits enroll. Great students, lots of options.

UGA Out-of-State decisions will go out at 4 pm ET today! Good luck to all applicants not just on a UGA decision, but on finding a good college match, personally, financially, academically and more. This is an exciting time for you, and I hope senior year ends up great.

Five minutes in, 6,000+ decisions received. System is working find. Most expected responses to future questions. 1) Yes, scholarship reviews go through April, so we are not done. 2) Honors makes honors decisions, not me. 3) Housing will open up on Monday, 12/9. Watch for emails.

Sometimes I feel pretty smart, and then my IT team leader asks our group "does anyone know how to liquid loop with data from a replicate block in a form", and I know with certainty where I actually stand.

I have uploaded a new UGA Admissions blog post on the overall UGA applicant pool, with data about the group. admissions.uga.edu/blog/2025-over…

New UGA blog post on Summer/Fall 2025 Transfer applicants and the review process, admissions.uga.edu/blog/summer-fa…. Big takeaway from post, UGA will continue to enroll 1 transfer for every 2 freshmen, but we want to focus on undergrad enrollment numbers to ensure great student experience.

Watching a show called Elsbeth and a Director of Admissions is killed when a student is not admitted. Thanks CBS for adding a little more stress to my day.

New UGA Admissions blog post on FY and Transfer decision timelines, admissions.uga.edu/blog/2025-firs…. Very short, very sweet post.

FYI, New UGA Admissions blog post is up, admissions.uga.edu/blog/enrollmen…. UGA has a firm fall freshman enrollment number of 6,200 students. As such, we will need to be cautious with final offers and we expect to use the Wait List to get to that 6,200 number so we don't over-enroll.

Today is the day for final first-year decisions at UGA. I have uploaded three posts about the different decisions, with the key one being the admitted student blog post, admissions.uga.edu/blog/2025-fres…. Good luck to everyone in finding the college that fits you best!

UGA Final First Year admissions decisions are live on a student's status page. Good luck out there.

Heading out for the day, taking a long walk, and will then try to answer any questions on the blog either tonight or over the weekend.

New UGA admissions blog post about how our office looks at your major in the our review, admissions.uga.edu/blog/uga-admis…. "Whatever major you select, we want to make sure you are prepared for the coursework ahead. But again, we do not limit the size of our admitted group by major."
