You forgot Mercer, KSU, Berry, West Georgia, Valdosta State, Oglethorpe, Reinhart, etc. There are plenty of non-specialized Universities in the state of Georgia. That is not counting the plethora of HBCUs that are some of the finest in America.

The reason that UGA is difficult to get into is because of the lottery-based scholarships that are available, thus sending more kids to college who would never have had the chance tens of years ago. That has driven up the requirements to get into state schools.

That is true for the other schools.

The lottery based scholarships have significantly increased the number of highly competitive and highly ranked high school graduates who stay in state for free tuition (i.e. UGA and GT) because the value is significantly better than out of state at Harvard, UNC, UVA, MIT, etc..

It isn't the kids who normally would not go to college that has made UGA so much more difficult to gain entrance.
