Early Action Update - UGA Undergraduate Admissions

Early Action Update - UGA Undergraduate Admissions Early Action Update With the Early Action deadline passing, here are a few updates about the process: Total EA Applications (10.5% increase over last year): 13,291 Complete Early Action Applications: 9,950 # of EA Applicants Applying within 3 days of Deadline: 3,523 As you can see, a large number (roughly 75%) of the Early Action applications are complete. Additionally, over 25% 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 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 11 SAT for Early Action as long as you designated UGA as a school to automatically receive your scores, and we have imported most of these today, so they should show up on the myStatus page soon. I believe we will be receiving the October 11 SAT sometime next week (the College Board site says 10/28), but 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, etc. to make sure that it was sent. If it 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. 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! Early Action Update - UGA Undergraduate Admissions Early Action Update We will be shutting down our Status Check until Early Action decisions are ready to be released. This will affect the Status Check for all applicants, Early Action and Regular Decision first year applicants, transfers, etc. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but it is needed in order to make admissions decisions. We are in the process of carefully consolidating and reviewing all information and documents received from roughly 11,350 Early Action freshman applicants and need to close the Status Check to do this. There is no set date at this time for Early Action decisions to go out, but we will let you know as soon as that has been determined. Please do not call, email, text, Facebook us, etc. to ask when decisions will be released as we do not know this yet. Thank you for your patience! Go Dawgs! Early Action Update - UGA Undergraduate Admissions Early Action Update Since we are now a few days beyond the Early Action deadline, I thought I would give everyone a few updates about the process: 2012 Early Action Applications: Approximately 10,800 Complete Early Action Applications: Approximately 6,600 Number of EA applicants without SAT/ACT (with Writing) scores: Approximately 2,500 Amount of Documents received over the past week: Approximately 1 Trillion (okay, it is really about 8,000) We are still working on matching materials to files, so please be patient, as a large volume of items came in at the last moment. If after about 10 business days between required EA admissions documents being sent or you applying (whichever one is later), the documents are still not showing up on the myStatus page, we suggest you contact us. But remember that it is business days, so do not count weekend days. We expect a large volume of SAT scores will come in over the next few days, as the October 1 scores will arrive shortly. At the same time, the College Board changed the layout of the download file this past week, so we are having to readjust our import system, so please be patient. We were just able to push in the scores, and we are updating the myStatus system, but the new scores may not show up until tomorrow (or if you did not include your SSN and correct name, next week). I had one email where a student said he requested the SAT scores to be sent earlier in the morning, and he was worried because they had not shown up yet on his myStatus page. Patience is a virtue! Thank you to all the applicants for taking the 5-10 minutes to complete the self-reported grades chart, as this has been a great asset to our office. 5-10 minutes by each student means 5-10 minutes times 10,800 applications that we will be saving in part of our process, which will help us later in our EA decision timeline. I do not have an exact date when we will be releasing EA decisions, but when I do, I will let everyone know. Make sure to check your myStatus page, your school and the testing agencies to make sure that everything has been sent to UGA. And now that the applications are submitted, take a few minutes to relax and enjoy senior year! Go Dawgs!
