Shout out to High School Counselors! - UGA Undergraduate Admissions

Shout out to High School Counselors! - UGA Undergraduate Admissions Shout out to High School Counselors! Over the last 3 years, our office has made it so that high school counselors and teachers can submit their evaluation/recommendation forms online. As you would probably guess, it started off slow the first year, but it has been gaining traction ever since, with great growth this year! Having these forms come into our office online helps in matching up the materials to the students (it happens overnight in a large batch job), eliminates the delay of the mail, means fewer issues with illegible writing, and lessens the items we must open, scan and match up with applicants. In addition, it allows schools to save general academic information for the school in the UGA database (and not write it out again and again), cuts down on postage, and lessens the phone calls from panicked families. So far this year, we have received over 10,000 online school evaluations (this includes Early Action and Regular Decision applicants, along with a few who have not applied yet but the form is in)! If you get a chance and your counselor (or teacher) did their recommendation online, give them a big thank you from UGA. Here is a list of the top 15 high schools based upon the number of online school evaluations submitted. Northview HS 246 Milton HS 166 G. Walton Comp. HS 148 Brookwood HS 141 Alpharetta HS 135 Collins Hill HS 121 Roswell HS 110 Chattahoochee HS 109 Lassiter HS 107 The Westminster Schools 104 Alan C.
