How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
University of Georgia admits about 37.7% of applicants. Among admitted students who submitted scores, the middle 50% scored between 1,270 and 1,480 on the SAT (interquartile range), and between 29 and 34 on the ACT. 16.8% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants, and 18.2% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is meaningful, at 25.0% of the student body — a signal that University of Georgia functions as a genuine on-ramp for students who begin their college journey elsewhere. Azimuth ranks University of Georgia #208 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The six-year graduation rate is 89.7%, with 75.1% of Pell-eligible students completing within that window — a completion gap worth watching given the institution's broad access mission. Freshman retention stands at 94.0%, reflecting solid early-year persistence. Azimuth ranks University of Georgia #92 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates earn a median of $57,000 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 85.7 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. That figure carries particular weight given University of Georgia's concentration in Computer Science — a field that consistently channels graduates into high-mobility careers in technology and engineering. As explored in Azimuth's analysis of access versus outcomes at scale, the mobility ranking reflects both the volume of students served from lower-income backgrounds and the earnings advantage those graduates achieve relative to similar students at comparable institutions.
