@Melissa96, Will there be in-person admitted student tours in March? We would like to tour the university if possible in March. Thanks!

Just got in! Was 100% sure that I would be rejected because I wrote my essay 3 days in advance. OOS, I had a 3.6 UW and was around 50th percentile at my school. They might have made a mistake? My extracurriculars were strong so maybe thats it. 31 act but I was a National Hispanic scholar. Have they released financial aid yet? Also how do I check if my acceptance was to PaCE?

They are hoping to start some very small in person tours. Space would be very limited. There are going to be some virtual sessions so we can reach as many students as possible.

It looks like ppl are talking about getting a 2k scholarships for research or something from honors. i didn’t get this but i got into honors, did u?
The free tuition is hard to turn down 
. UGA is super close to home for us so my son has cast a broad net.

IS Summer B required to be on campus or can it be virtual? Especailly if classes are virtual anyway

Nope, no research scholarship. I’m an incoming business student so I don’t think I could receive the scholarship anyway, it may just be for STEM…
Thank you for this. My son would need to see in person before committing. Is this the link to monitor for tours?

Thank you @Melissa96.
@Melissa96 Has there been any decision about whether or not Florida will go ahead and fund the Benacquisto program? I have tried to find information but have not been successful

From what I’m reading, stats being solid, it comes down to the Honors essay.
With so many applications this year and schools going test optional, luck probably plays a role too. We had a bunch of merit scholarship surprises, and some deferral disappointments as well, so I understand. I’m trying hard not to rationalize it. Not easy! There are so many factors and we’ll never really know.
Good luck to your student! They say that it all works out and the kids end up where they’re meant to be. I sure hope so!

They won’t be out for a bit but they will be similar to last year.
It says Florida Resident, Non-Florida Resident, or Undetermined depending on how the application review went.
