Well I think it differs by school. Like my friend that got into OSU said a student created theirs (I'm pretty sure), but for VT/MD the admissions office is setting it up and you have to request to be in it and they accept you based on their records and whatnot. So I'm not sure what UGA does :/

A friend of mine who is a first year said that in past years students of the incoming class started the group, and then laura leigh crowe would eventually invite other students to it accordingly. However, laura leigh is not there anymore, so I suppose one of us should just make it hehe
 
I received the dreadful "sorry to inform you" letter today...BUT I've still been accepted from Auburn and have an interview in TN and waiting to hear from NCS..so oh well GA 😉
 
Laura Leigh isn't there any more?? So THAT'S how I got accepted lol.... She was really unhelpful and not understanding when I had a problem with my app last year.
 
Apparently we have created enough commotion to cause them to send out duplicate notices in the form of E-mail. Everyone who is still waiting go check! And am I the only one who was nervous looking at the email even though I was already accepted? Haha

Really?

Welp, I got nothing. Oh well, I'll sit over here and wait patiently for my snail mail rejection letter to come. :laugh:

All of the emails may not have gone out at the same time! The email contains your application decision in a pdf attachment, so it sounds like they are sending both acceptances and rejections. Still hope!

Are we sure that was for everyone and not just those that contacted admissions? I'm still waiting on a letter and an email here on the west coast...

I never contacted admissions and got an email earlier today after my original acceptance in January

I don't know. I never contacted them further than submitting my application, but they called me unprompted about 2 weeks ago, left a message and had me call back...only to let me know when they were going to be making the final decisions and mailing out letters, and I was asked if I was still in Texas.

And now, random e-mails are apparently going out.

I am officially thoroughly bewildered by their admissions office.
 
WAITLISTED.

I'm really starting to hate that word.

Sorry to hear that... have you checked the elc portal lately? I hate to say it, but if something were missing from your application they may have thrown out your application. 🙁 Had this happen last year when I turned my 50 dollar check in 1 day late (I wouldn't have gotten in last year anyway 😳) and there was no notification besides the website. Unfortunately sometimes admissions folks don't realize this is our LIVES. 👎 😡

I doubt that's the case in my situation, I was in touch with them a lot when materials were due since some of mine didn't originally make it to them (I'm from the greater NYC area and had some transcripts that were supposed to go out during the hurricane). I know they got my payment on time because I received a confirmation letter of that. It does sound like I'm not the only one to not receive anything yet. I doubt I'm getting in there, but it would be nice to have some closure!
 
Sorry to double post but I just emailed admissions - I will post the answer here when they respond...

Got my letter today. Wait listed as an at-large applicant.

Hey there I was wait listed as well! Georgia is one of the programs I don't know too much about - I just applied to apply. Do you know anything about their alternate turnover? I know Kansas burns through their wait list.
 
I received my rejection letter (not surprised) up in Ohio today, so I'm assuming any (accept/reject/waitlist) snail mail letters that have already been sent should be arriving soon for those who are still waiting that live up north

Honestly, I have no idea. I'm going to decline my spot on the wait list and almost certainly would have declined an acceptance at this point anyway.

Sorry I can't tell you more, hopefully someone else can.

I haven't been keeping apprised of Georgia's SDN this year so I got my alternate letter yesterday as a total surprise! I'm not sure of how their program works with alternates though. DOes anyone know if they burn through a good chunk of their list or not?

I think it's highly variable. I'm waitlisted for a SC contract spot. Last year - they didn't even take the number one person on that list, ha. So my hopes aren't terribly high. But that's also because we don't have an IS school. As an OOS student you'd probably have a much better chance - but UGA is so secretive, I'm not really sure! Good luck!
 
Hi Everyone!! Congratulations!

I just got my acceptance notification and was wondering what everyone is doing in regards to housing. Up to the last minute I was going to Illinois, but got called from UGA.

Thanks!
 
so you have to call if you want to know your spot on the waitlist. as a ga resident, i am number 9. =/ i don't think the chances are looking good for me! looks like i'll be heading to wisconsin....

Wow! You got into Wisconsin OOS but not Georgia IS? I'm a GA resident (also didn't get in) but I'm from WI originally and know how tough their admissions can be. I hope you have the best of luck with Georgia's wait list, but at least WI OOS tuition isn't bad and Madison is a wonderful place.
