Has anybody still not gotten there physical acceptance letter? I was accepted EA last Friday and am from Florida, but I still haven’t gotten the actual letter. Funny, I got my online Tulane acceptance Thursday and the physical letter the next day :confused:

I was accepted from Maryland EA and i still havent gotten mine either @thefloridavegan

We live 40 minutes from UGA and STILL haven’t gotten the physical acceptance letter. Very unnerving!!!

Scholarship question. My son got the Classic Scholars Award, which is a 50 percent waiver of the OOS fee. Realistically this isn’t going to work for us, as he has a couple of tuition-free options. I know that he could still get the Ramsey or Fellowship, but realistically if he were in the running for these I would guess he would have gotten a full OOS waiver. FWIW, he has great stats, 35 ACT, 3.94/4.3 g.p.a., but weak leadership or community service.

Is the Classic Scholars Award ever increased for those not qualifying for Ramsey/Fellowship? My son is really interested in UGA, but as a parent I’ve got to look at the bottom line.

I would assume that its not increased (based on my personal experience and personal knowledge of UGA Scholarships), but I don’t know for sure since I’m not OOS.

However, if he has full tuition options, that would be ideal beyond doubt. What schools did he get full tution

I would definitely commend you for looking at cost going forward. Loans aren’t worth it and undergrad institution isn’t as important as what HS Seniors make it out to be. Could I ask what your son is studying?

I’d say possible but unlikely. I don’t know for sure though. I hope that I’m wrong and you end up getting an increase in scholarship.
