2016 Fall Transfer Update - UGA Undergraduate Admissions

2016 Fall Transfer Update - UGA Undergraduate Admissions 2016 Fall Transfer Update The review of the 2016 Fall transfer applications is our key focus at this time, and we continue to diligently work on these files. At this time, we have made roughly 1,100 decisions of the 2500 applications we received this year. In addition, roughly 300 of the 2,500 files are incomplete and thus will not be reviewed. Based on statistical data, we are averaging about 45 decisions being made per day. As such, I expect that we be be complete for the most part by about mid-May, although,we will have a few slowdowns as we get into some of the more challenging files to review. Please remember we cannot tell you when you will have a decision as this depends on many factors. Applications are generally processed in the order in which the file was completed, but this is not always the case, as some files are more challenging, are from colleges where we are having to build a catalog in the new system, or are just complex. We also have two new staff members who can handle the more basic transfer files, so they might review some later files that can be done easily but might be out of completion order. As well, I am not able to look at each individual file to see why someone did nor did not receive a decision based on X date. Most applications completed by roughly the end of February or earlier have been reviewed with some exceptions. If you are transferring from an out-of-state college or a college we have not had many students apply from, your application may take a bit longer to review and thus the timeline would not be correct for your situation. Transfer decisions are updated daily on the status check, and the myStatus page is updated at about 5 am every morning. If you have been admitted and want to see how your courses transferred, you can use the transfer equivalency site off the admissions website. If you have submitted a deposit, you can log on toDegreeWorks to see how your courses apply towards the degree/major you have selected. As well, go to the Next Steps brochure to learn about what you will need to do next to enroll at UGA (this is also sent in the acceptance packet). I hope this helps, and Go Dawgs.
