Georgia State to move up application deadline, limit enrollment

ATLANTA - Georgia State University will move up its enrollment deadline and start turning away some students for the first time. <br> <br> It was once considered a safety school for students who got turned down by the Unversity of Georgia. <br> <br> Applications for the fall semester at the downtown Atlanta school must be postmarked by March 1 -- a month before most students will know whether they were accepted at the University of Georgia. <br> <br> Previously, Georgia State&#39;s deadline was June. <br> <br> University administrators say the change is intended to accommodate the growth in the number of applications. <br> <br> Georgia State also will limit its fall 2003 freshman class size to 2,400 students.
