UGA's Recent Regular Decision Statistics

|---|---|---|---|
| 2028 | 16,330 | 6,900 | 42% |

Key Trends and Insights
- Consistent EA acceptance rate despite increase in applicants: EA applicants jumped from 26,000 for class of 2027 to 30,490 for class of 2029, but despite that, the acceptance rate has been relatively consistent, indicating a consistent increase in the admitted cohort size from EA applications.
- Higher RD rate than EA rate: UGA is one of the few universities where the RD acceptance rate is higher. This is due to the smaller number of RD applicants, and the discrepancy between out-of-state vs in-state applicants' acceptance rates
- Exponentially higher acceptance rates for out-of-state students: for class of 2028, the EA acceptance rate was 50% for in-state students, while only 25% for out-of-state students. While the university has not split up the acceptances for class of 2029, there's no reason to assume this trend has changed or reverse for class of 2029.
