With a goal of enrolling about 6,250 students this fall, the University of Georgia’s Office of Admissions has extended offers of admission to the Class of 2030.

As the state’s flagship university, UGA remains committed to serving Georgia’s students. This admitted class includes students from 156 of Georgia’s 159 counties, highlighting the impact of UGA’s widespread in-state recruitment efforts and the university’s reputation in both urban and rural communities.

“The University of Georgia exists to educate future generations and serve the people of our state,” said UGA President Jere W. Morehead. “The outstanding students admitted to the Class of 2030 represent the next chapter in our institution’s storied history, and I am excited to see all they will accomplish after they arrive on our campus.”

This year, more than 51,600 students — a record number — submitted an application to UGA. Applicants continue to impress with their academic and extracurricular experiences, and admitted students performed exceptionally well in their core classes, including math, English, science, social sciences and foreign languages. The admitted class includes students from more than 2,800 high schools, representing all 50 states as well as Washington, D.C.

Admitted students in this year’s class also demonstrated strong academic achievement, with an average ACT score of 32.47 and an average SAT score of 1421. On average, 93% of their grades were A’s, and 77.5% completed the most rigorous curriculum available at their high school, including Advanced Placement or dual enrollment courses.

In its mission to deliver an exceptional on-campus experience, the first goal of the University of Georgia’s 2024-28 strategic enrollment plan is to sustain the size, residency and academic profile of the first-year cohort. UGA recently ranked No. 2 in the nation in the 2026 Niche rankings for best student life, reflecting the vibrant, supportive and engaging experience that students enjoy in Athens.

“Our goal is to enroll a first‑year class with approximately 80% of students coming from Georgia,” said David Graves, executive director of undergraduate admissions. “To support this goal, we have taken a measured approach to our initial admission offers and will rely on the waitlist to help ensure the appropriate size of the entering class. We expect to begin making waitlist decisions after May 1 once we have a clearer understanding of commitment deposits and how they align with our in‑state and out‑of‑state enrollment priorities.”

The second goal of the University of Georgia’s strategic enrollment plan is to increase transfer student enrollment, for which the university also received a record number of applications, to create more pathways for Georgia residents to attend the state’s flagship university. Admission decisions for transfer students for summer and fall 2026 will be released on Friday, March 20.
