Have all automatic acceptances to the Honors College already been sent out? On the website it says “Notification of automatic acceptance will be emailed and mailed to students after UGA Undergraduate Admissions has released Early Action decisions.” That makes it sound like there may still be a little time left, especially since they say after, but I’m not sure. I got accepted with a full presidential waiver and One UGA scholarship (which I was super excited about), so I was also hoping for an automatic Honors acceptance.

I was accepted EA. When do you find out if you officially received the Zell Miller Scholarship and what the total costs are to attend?

@SwimSwam12 Go to the Georgia Futures website and register. Your Hope/Zell GPA should be calculated on there. It will let you know if you qualify. They calculate weight a little differently and require a certain level of rigor. Your high school will have sent your transcripts to them and you should be on the website. Thie Zell will cover all tuition. Room board books and fees etc. are not covered

It hardly seems possible that you did not get in to UGA. DId you get in regular decision?
