Generally, these are mostly RD applicants, as the deferred EA students did not meet EA admission standards in December, so they would need to have increased their SAT/ACT scores to higher level. All other decisions will be released in late March."<br /><br />I do not have an exact date in late March, as is depends on how many applications we have overall, how many complete their applications, our read process and how long it takes, etc. Late March is the best I can give you.DGraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898528441077213024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-79007397802398056742011-01-20T21:40:13.784-05:002011-01-20T21:40:13.784-05:00When do we find out our decision for admission. i ...When do we find out our decision for admission. i saw on the UGA main site that it was BY april first, but no specific date was listed. can you please elaborate upon the process of decisions. i saw somebody prior to this post mentioned february decisions...and this has led me to be somewhat confused.emilyknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-40511641784777572782011-01-20T21:34:41.757-05:002011-01-20T21:34:41.757-05:00Anon I: Thanks!

SAT, as the test scores flow automatically into your file when we get the scores, and these will be taken into account when we get them, and your academic profile will be updated. We do not need these before your file is read, as we have it built in to be able to take new scores into account.<br /><br />meh: First, we do not take a GPA off of a transcript (just so you know). Second, GPA's are rounded to the hundreth (3.76).<br /><br />Anon II: When we do a review of your rigor, it is a review of your 9th through 12th grade courses, so we already are looking at your senior courses. As for new grades, we have too many updated transcripts (possibly over 10,000) to redo GPA's by late Feb., so no, this will not be a part of the Feb. decisions.DGraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898528441077213024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-3797483928799286472011-01-20T21:21:52.271-05:002011-01-20T21:21:52.271-05:00Hello!

First, they have to be matched up with your file. If your counselor did it today online, then it should show up tomorrow, as the counselor generally will select you on their status check and it links directly to your file. For the teacher rec, we generally have to match it by hand, and since we have a lot of items (I matched up about 600 teacher recs and 300 transcripts today alone), it takes a few days. Third, the GA411 transcript comes into our system (but not instantly, but it does not match up directly, and we have to hand match it. And remember, we do not match up things on the weekends, as we are off.<br /><br />All: The myStatus page is not a live update, but is updated each a.m. from all materials that were matched up the previous day.
