2016 Early Action Update - UGA Undergraduate Admissions

2016 Early Action Update - UGA Undergraduate Admissions 2016 Early Action Update 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 applicants 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!
