FYI, I was notified about my "early award" today.

Good luck, LVT! Hey... is anyone else applying this time around?

I am first time applying from SC, so I'll be a contract seat hopefully at UGA. . . I have a 3.8-3.9 GPA, same for science and last 45 hours. 1270 on GRE, 4.5. Taking Bio GRE next month.
I know I don't have nearly the experience that most of the posters on the message board have, but with my GRE and GPA do I have a chance?
I'm also applying to UF, LSU, Mississippi, UTK, Auburn, VA-MD and CSU. What do you all think?😳
I think that's basically what I did. Make sure the AP sends a transcript to your schools.
Welp...only 6 months of waiting to go! Come on March 26th!
I only managed to increase my score 80 points.. UGH! But I have one more chance next month!
Anyone else apply to UGA? I am anxiously waiting to hear from them either way... good or bad... I am having a hard time waiting this long!!!!
As a non-resident, I got an email that said: We'll tell you something no later than April 15th 😱
5 more months

At UGA we like our students to have ulcers. We also like them to be a little crazy.
I will be a SC contract seat (hopefully!), any inside scoop for us SC people?UGA is my IS, and I'm doing my undergrad there now. Well, til graduation tomorrow, anyway. I applied last year as a third-year student for practice and got wait-listed. I never got in off the wait list, but I did learn a lot about UGA that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't applied. I'd like to share some of that with you guys now, if you're interested.
It's unlikely that UGA will do interviews this spring. They used to do interviews, but we have to take the GRE Biology now instead. Apparently this girl came in to her interview at UGA a few years ago with her hair dyed purple. She got rejected. She sued the school for not accepting her because of her purple hair. UGA doesn't do interviews anymore.
They'll put around 30 people on the wait list, but they usually won't accept more than 5-7. I met a girl who was 2nd on the wait list back in... 2003... and was the last student accepted. But they have to have backup in case the kids who have been accepted to both med school and vet school choose med school the day after classes start. When that happens (and it has happened a couple times over the past few years), they go through the waitlist pretty quick because most people can't come up with the money right then.
The admissions advisor this year is new (the previous admissions person is now working in a different department on campus), so some things may change in the next few application cycles. I imagine this is why there was no supplemental this year, but I could be wrong.
I know they don't have a timeline on their website, but they told me on March 13th last year that I was on the alternate list, and I think a few kids got acceptance letters a day or two before that. We were all expecting to have to wait until April. They started accepting people off the wait list immediately, but I didn't get my final rejection until August 19th. It was a suspenseful summer.
I think the next thing we should expect to hear from them is that our fall semester transcripts need to be sent/have arrived.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Good luck, everyone! Maybe we'll be classmates next fall!![]()
