Early Action 2 – This application deadline is for non-Georgia students. Applications from students who attend a high school outside Georgia (including international) and are not Georgia residents are eligible for the Early Action 2 plan.

Students with incomplete Early Action files may complete their application and be considered for admission in Regular Decision. Applications not completed by the document and self-reported test score deadline for Regular Decision will be closed.
