i just got deffered my UGA today, anyone have any good admission tips for me? i got a 1240 on the SAT, and i have a 91 average.
lol its no biggie man. I got deffered in Dec. 02, but I got accepted in the Spring 03. My SAT was 1140 but my average was a 98. I dont think you have anything to worry bout. Just dont get to carried away (like me).
well youve got me by a lot on the average, but hopefully things will work out. Is it possible for me to send them my grades for the Fall semester in highschool, I would really like them to be able to see them because I am doing really well. Thanks
i hear micheal adams is a lil fuck
no offense, taking away what UGA was making it into a hard ass, no life school, dobut that will ever happen, not that i dont wanna concentrate and get an education, however, i think campus life is pretty important to, and hey, who likes a stiff ass?
but hes punishing teachers who canceled or let students out that friday fo the FL v GA game
thats ghey, a HS teacher cant do that, not a Univesity teacher
i wanted to go tot UGA but i hear its hard as hell to get in and i just personally have changed my mind, cause i hate Language Arts
if i were to get in again, take the SAT's again on Jan 28 with me, study over break and then have a goodtime the rest f the year
yea i would like to go to more of a technical school, since i doubt i'll be getting into georgia tech, i will most likely go to southern polytechnic state.
yeah, or KSU is cool to, im still looking broad and wide at all the schools
Tech's good, but you could go to GSU for 2 then Tech for two if you got bad grade
only thing ive heard is...
Guy goes to Harvard for 4 yrs-he says its easy, teachers arent hostile, they want to help you
GSU for grad school- not just cause of grad school, but he claims GSU is much harder cause prof's are asses and have been instructed to make everything really hard so GSU can come off as a better school
same thing at USA righ now
Just wait it out on the admissions. I dont think anything that you send in now will really make a difference.
My freshman year was at UGA and it was one of the greatest years I have EVER had. Mostly because of the campus/dorm life.
For the last two years I have been at SPSU. My sophmore year I lived in the dorms and let me tell you right now that it sucked. I like the school and the teachers, but everything else blows. Financial Aid has given me nothing but a shit load of problems and the whole student life blows.
On an education side though SPSU was much harder. My classes are small and my teachers know who I am. So that made skipping out and getting around other things very hard. While at UGA I probably only went to 30% of my classes every week and spent the other half dong whatever.
one word you never misspellOriginally Posted by blare
what sucked about it?
can freshman get the apartments?
Why did you make the switch from uga to spsu?
lol ya I picked a very bad word to mispell.
Yea freshman can live in apartments. My brother (freshman) and I have a place right off campus. My main problem was just that most people in my dorm (upper classmen) went home on the weekends (so there really wasnt much going on). The food plan which you HAVE to buy is horrible. Im not picky by any means, but damn I didnt shit right for a lonnnggg time. In the end I just stopped eating there even though I paid for it.
Inspite of all that I strongly recommend living in the dorms your freshman year. Just because it is a unique experience in general.
I left UGA cause..... well..... there is not great or perfect explanation. It really wasnt a matter of money or grades. I just needed to leave because I felt that I needed to move on. Its hard to explain but yea.... I still go chill with my buds once a month though
when you say apartments, you mean the SPSU apartments right? and how much more is that compared to dorms?lol ya I picked a very bad word to mispell.

Id wait it out...they only accepted like half of thier freshman class IIRC. Also you will have to send your mid year reports to them so they will see your fall semester grades. You can have my spot if you want, i got in early, but i doubt im going
From what I remember my orientation leader says that UGA uses a point system for admission. So if you are a girl = +1, guy= 0. If one of your parents went to UGA or you are the first in your family to go to college = +1, everyone else no points. Etc.
I dont think I would have got in if it wasnt for the fact that I had almost a year of college done (with all A's) before I graduated from HS.
i would be fine with them seeing my grades for this semester, it's my best semester i have had in highschool, so far i have all A's. The highest math I am going to take will be AP Calculus AB, rollininstyle what math are you in to get into georgia?Id wait it out...they only accepted like half of thier freshman class IIRC.

dont go to spsu im warning you...
Val for President
why is that?
lol ya I wanna know too!!
hey blare, so if i came in as a freshman i would be allowed to get an apartment? because most schools make freshman stay in the dorms...
Ummm.. There are two types of on campus apartments. I think its the Courtyard (newer) and the Commons (older). I think that freshman can live in the Courtyard, but not the Commons because those go the upperclassman for the most part. i would call and ask em though. I actually live on the otherside of cobb parkway. So I dont know how nice they are. Best part about living on campus at SPSU is it takes less tha 5 minutes to get to any class. UGA damn I remember it taking 50 minutes to get to my tennis class.
yea i would like to get an apartment on campus. I think it would be better than having a common bathroom and all that stuff. did you ever stay in the dorms, and if so how did you like it?
Ya I did two years in dorms. One at UGA and One at SPSU. Some people hate it and it bothers them alot. I personally loved it. I never had to clean a bathroom or shower. lol. I never really had any roommate issues, but i know plenty of people that did. To me thats the hard part, having a roommate that your not going to have any problems with. My last roommate liked to make rap beats, and while they were cool. It wasnt cool when I was trying to study for a test. Roommates also can make getting some action alittle more difficult too, cause somestimes gotta be S-exiled.
And when all your buds are a door or two away, You know something is gonna go down.
i went there, you want highschool all over again, but with 90%guys?
Val for President
not really.......
LOL hahahhah. Yea the school is 90% dudes, but Im engaged to my girl so I never really cared.
Girls at UGA = sexy hotness in mini skirts (well notall of them)
yea that would suck pretty bad, it couldnt be too bad though, if you want some girls you could always just go find some somewhere else. sounds like GAtech, where it's 70% men. lol
Ya my brother knows some girls at Ksaw. If you plan on going MET you will probably not have one girl in your classes.
MET = Marrieta? :confused:
Mechanical Engineering Technology
dude i went there, if you want guys then hell its gonna be your lucky daynot really.......

AP Calc AB last year w/ a 5 on the AP Exam and AP Statistics this year. I took the SATII subject tests in Math Level II and Chemistry becuase they were required for a few other schools im applying to so i sent thoose to UGA as well. I got a 770 in MathII and a 690 in Chem so while that wasnt a requirement for GA it may have helped me out some. Honestly though i have heard a lot of people getting defered that i thought should have gotten in. One of my friends got a 1370 (old score, 2 sections) with a 3.7 and she got defered. Their admission process is a mystery
Whether people admit it or not, UGA is a legacy school. As it stands now, I can only speak for their professional/graduate programs. Many in the grad programs that get in usually have an UGA alumni in the family or they know someone on the admissions board. UGA is highly competitive but not for the right reasons. Let's be honest, most applicants are qualified but sometimes it's not what you know but who you know. UGA is really working hard to diversify their student population. Most of you should have safety schools.

UGA CLAIMS (not sure how true it is) that they do not take legacy into account for their EARLY acceptance. According to them it is based on the following 3 aspects IN THIS ORDER:
GPA
Course Rigor
SAT/ACT
And thats it for the EARLY decision, now for the regular decision, they have the essays, reccomendations, legacy, etc. that all play into thier decision in some unknown manner.
I did, UGA
Yea, it took like 20 minutes to complete the app. HOWEVER i think the whole not having to write the essays for early was just implemented this year, i believe everyone had to write the essays last year regardless of which deadline you applied to.
