<p>I wonder if students are tending to apply to more universities. It seems to be a common theme this year among universities that their admitted rates are lower this year than last year.</p>

<p>Anyway, DS got waitlisted by UGA but got into Emory, Tulane, and University of Maryland - go figure!</p>

<p>Those are great choices, don’t fret. Maryland has a big inside track on public and private sector jobs in the DC area ( I live nearby), Emory speaks for itself, Tulane as well.</p>

<p>It’s possible. Both Georgia Tech and Georgia saw a considerable increase(3k+) in undergraduate applications this year. I can’t comment on a national level, but I think Class of 2013 HS graduates were simply much larger than past classes. Again, this is pure speculation. Both UGA and Georgia Tech have seen a steady, consistant increase in applications and admissions profiles.</p>

<p>However, other smaller schools in Georgia seem to fair about the same(GSU, KSU, GA Southern etc)</p>

<p>I’m not sure how private schools like Emory did. Regardless, it’s quality, not quantity. UGA accepted the same number of students as years before, there were simply more applicants this year.</p>

<p>Snowflake, those are all top choices. Congratulations!</p>
