The University of Georgia, our state's flagship university, offers over 130 majors to perspective students. Click here to explore the majors offered. Admission to UGA is an ever-increasing challenge to attain for high school students and one that requires early planning. The freshman year is a great time to begin preparing the best resume and transcript possible, but even if your freshman year was not the best, sophomore and junior years are still important pieces in the admissions process. The key is knowing what your goals are, and if UGA is your goal, you need to know UGA. It is with this in mind, I wanted to make you aware of two important opportunities coming up:
1) I will host a UGA Application Mini-Course during Redskin Advisement on Wednesday, September 20th. This short class will teach you about the application process, offer up some pointers on making the application process simpler, help you strategize between Early Decision Application and Regular Decision Application, and will be a great way for underclassmen to learn about the admissions standards so that they can prepare to be a serious competitor when applying as a senior.
ALL GRADE LEVEL STUDENTS ARE INVITED AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND!

2) This next event is for any 10th-12th grader who is in foster care or has been deemed "homeless" by the school board and is interested in UGA. First Look is a program offered by the Office of Admission and Embark@UGA and will offer students in foster care or who are considered homeless an opportunity to tour the campus, opportunities to interact and meet with current
students, faculty and staff to discuss available resources, information
sessions highlighting admissions, merit-based scholarships and our nationally
ranked facilities and amenities and lunch will be provided in the dining hall
for invited students. This event will take place on September 29th. To register or to learn more about it, visit https://apply.uga.edu/register/?id=e913eb42-73f4-46d0-a6f2-8df99b240707
