Congrat to ya tannermt and abenton . do you guys know if they need a deposit for UGA

Thanks for the congrats man and good luck to anyone who has'nt heard. I think they do require a deposit but i believe its a pretty small amount. Yea mercer is gonna have a mass exodus but they always expect that just cause UGA is great school at a great price.
I think they require a $500 deposit.
thephoenician88, that 7k should last you about the entire year. As long as you live a little frugally and don't eat out every meal.
hitzgirlforever, yes I will be attending UGA COP.
Thanks for the congrats and Good Luck to those still waiting and on the alternate list. Oh yea, and I e-mailed Dr. Wolfgang to find out my status.
how will you guys decide between mercer and uga?
is it uga-no question about it? or will you go back and forth.

There was no deposite for UGA last year, unless they change it this year. You just have to reply back saying you'll go there or not.
Sweet! I'm glad I was wrong, lol
I received my official letter today. Accepted. I will definitely be going to UGA!
can you guys give some reasons why you're choosing uga vs mercer?
Hey guys, congratulations on your acceptances. I too am going to be part of the Class of 2013, there's a facebook group if you guys wanna join. I'm looking forward to the next four years. Again, congratulations to everyone.
I got my letter, now must go out and celebrate!What should our written letter of acceptance contain? Like 1 page paper saying why i want to be at UGA? Or just, "yes thank you i accept offer" with a stamp+envelope?

It's not that easy of a decision. Mercer really impressed me at my interview. But, I decided to go to UGA because my fiance goes to UGA and it is a great deal cheaper. Did you make your decision yet?
i'm speaking to a few more people on friday, i'm really leaning towards UGA at the moment though.
Mercer really impressed me too, that's what's making this hard lol.

What does it mean to be an alternate?
It means that if anyone accepted declines their seat, an alternate has a chance to take their spot. The higher you are in the alternate pool, the better chance you have of getting accepted. I think UGA usually ends up pulling 15-20 alternates per cycle. Good Luck!
last year i think they pulled~30. UGA's list is unranked though, and they don't tell you where you are on the list.
Actually the number is 16, about half of thirty. And I believe if you try and ask Dr. Wolfgang he will tell you your rank. I have a friend who has already asked him and he said that she is pretty high up in the top 20. I will have to come up with the courage to ask him on Monday. If he says he won't tell me, then that's okay.
hmmm i must've been thinking about the year before class of 2012.
I went through waiting list last year and they wouldn't tell me rank, if he told someone else then idk lol, i guess i was too far down. they probably have a pool of 20 or so students who are runner ups and everyone else is unranked.

Real quick, for those who were accepted, what're you guys doing for housing? I'm currently looking for roommates (preferably pharmacy students), PM me if interested.
yea i'm going to look for roommates as well, the pharm school helps you out though. I'll probably be in a dorm on campus because i'm not too familiar with athens area just yet.
got my info packet today lol, 2 important papers, 30 pgs of filler 😛
Hey everyone, I'm pretty sure UGA has started their interviews...who's got one?
Hey phoenician, so are you a First year student at UGA?
If so then are you going to be there when we are in the waiting room?
yes and i could, tell me when yours is.

Well, actually I already interviewed! were you there on Wednesday?
what time belle?
Hey guys, so I'm back. Was wait-listed last year and unfortunately ended up not getting in.
As of right now, I've got an interview at 1 on the 26th. I feel like my application has improved a lot, so hopefully I will be getting in this year. .... Heh, one things for sure, I am going to be on time this time around.

Heh, well, had I not arrived late last time, I am pretty sure the way it would have gone down was: You get there and they sit you in a room with several other interviewees and you are given about 30-45 minutes to write an essay; they then give a presentation via powerpoint; your group of interviewees is then joined by current students and one person is taken to be interviewed for a variable amount of time. During the time you spend not being interviewed the current students answer your questions and the like. And I think that is where it ends.
From what I remember, it was much more laid back then I thought it was going to be. Because of the way the interviews are organized they also didnt seem too displeased with my being late.... though it still looked very unprofessional.

how'd the interview go belle? maybe this is the last group of interviews they look at before making the first round of acceptances....good luck everyone! praying for my acceptance 🙂
ps thepheonician... do you think being a guy gives me an advantage of being accepted? it seems like the school has a lot more females so I didn't know if they try and keep it more even? haha just a thought to make me feel more likley to get accepted.

haha, our class is about 2/3 female i would say so i'm not sure if they put preference on men. But you're right, a lot of the interviewees have been females. Odd.

Has anyone else received an interview?? Bump.
it's odd that hardly any uga applicants comment on these boards, idk why.
