Selection Process

Selection Process

About 30,000 high school seniors apply for admission by the early action deadline each year; 325 of those will be selected as semifinalists in December (Georgia residents) and mid-January (non-GA residents). The semifinalist pool will participate in a virtual interview. All semifinalists will be asked to submit additional documentation, including a resume.

Around 100 finalists will be named in late January (GA residents) and early February (non-GA residents) and invited to participate in Scholars Weekend, a two-day on-campus event taking place in March 2023. A total of 40 Stamps President's Scholars and 60 Gold Scholars will be named from that group.

All finalists who attend Scholars Weekend will be guaranteed one of our two top merit awards: The Stamps President’s Scholarship or the Gold Scholarship.
