I'm going to be a junior at UGA this fall. When I applied, I had a 1300 on the SAT, 94 GPA, top 5% of my class, took gifted and AP classes. I applied for early admission. My friend had a much lower SAT, GPA, and ranking. He got in as well, and UGA was the only school we applied to. My roommate applied with much lower credentials and got in as well. You can actually go to something at UGA, I guess you could call it a seminar or something, where admissions people talk to you about what they look for. They stress so much importance on GPA and course load and very little on SAT. Your essay(s) will also help in deciding between you and another applicant. Personally, I don't see a problem with you getting in. I would definately do early application and apply to backup schools. As far as questioning which school is right for you, if you are wanting to do pre-med, UGA is a great school. Alot of pre-med people at UGA get into med-schools. Also, UGA has a pharmacy school, which I think you said you were interested in. I think you can be accepted into that school as a junior, I think. I love UGA. The atmosphere is great. So many people to meet (33,000), so many things to do. There is something for everyone. You should arrange a trip up there, try to sit in on some classes, eat at one of the dining halls (which are great, they have won many national awards). Sorry this is so long. I hope this helps, and if you have anymore questions, just PM me. Good luck man.

thanks again for the reply, yea i remember reading on uga's website that they really stress gpa and didnt mention alot about sat or act. So hopefully ill get in on that but im still gonna try and get my sat and act scores up a bit. Ive been hearing everyone say to go ahead and apply early but i wanna talk with my counselor just to make sure but i think that she will say the same thing. the deadline isnt untill oct 15th so i have plenty of time to send an application in.thanks guys/girls! oh yea, and ive been to athens alot and absolutly love it! thats another factor as y i want to go to uga.

TECH DIPLOMA?

meaning technical classes?

which ones. you have to go to a school like Gwinnet Tech or a Technical college first.


i think, if it was something like a math class like such as Advanced algebra

Well, im going to be a senior this year, and im looking at going to UGA. Well i will give you some of my information and any knowledge about admissions will be greatly appreciated.

-100 out of 600 in class rank

-3.97 GPA, ive taken AP chem, AP German, AP gov, and AP econ.

-Will graduate with a dual seal diploma( college prep and tech prep)

-CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS: Beta club, Foriegn language international club, Health care occupation students of america, National Honors society, attended National Youth Leadership forum on Medicine, Foundation for the future.

-bad part: 23 on ACT and 1600 on NEW SAT(out of 2400).

- i am a white male, nothing special

so i think that i should get in, im retaking the SAT and gonna try and combine scores for a better overall score. So that should help a little bit, but i dont take it again untill late October. My question is should i apply early or wait for normal application with my new SAT scores and a couple more classes and maybe a better GPA, so be safe and apply normal or apply early with what i got? and what do u think my chances of getting in are? any info is appreciated
thanks!

whats the SAT score out of 1600?

if its bellow 1200 then goodluck. but you seem to be good in all other areas. sign up for SAT again. you seem like you can do better

you get the career tech diploma also if you complete an entire technology related group of classes. like drafting 1, 2, and 3. or technology 1, 2, and 3.

I applied early enrollment was deffered and then got my accepted in the spring. My SAT was 1140 I had no AP Classes. The only advanced class I had was Geometry. I had 3.9 something.
However, I did use the PSO option in high school so I graduated High School as a sophmore in college. I personally think that AP classes are stupid. Why go through all that crap in one year just to maybe get college credit? Its easier to PSO and get 6 hrs with no problems at all.

Good luck though. I loved the school and my freshman year there was one of the greatest years of my life.

a carrer tech diploma is if u complete 3 or more classes in the same group, like the guy said before, drafting 1,2,3.....or in my case, healt care 1,2,3,4....its just another seal u get for ur diploma

thanks again guys! meeting with counselor soon!

i did early admission to uga last year with gpa-4.2 and sat-1520/1600...was accepted at the beginning of december which was nice. UGA is awesome. I know people that got in with lower sat and gpa than you so i would try it early...worst is you get deffered to spring

[imbosile]

i graduated high school in 2004 (when the SAT was still out of 1600) and got accepted UGA, Southern, GA State, Valdosta, but rejected to GA Tech.
my SAT score was 1370, my GPA was 3.5...nothing too special.
UGA, Tech, AND GA State have continued to up their standards every year, making harder & harder to get accepted...apply early, and if you don't get in, re-take the SAT/ACT...but i think your GPA is good enough...

[PRiMAdonna]

oh yeah, good luck...

[tbone0217]

im on the charter scholarship and robert c bird scholarship

[tatodotcom]

oh yeah, good luck...

thanks again! got an appointment with counselor late this month! thanks everyone...

[Princess12]

Apply early for sure! Any new SAT scores will be sent to UGA as soon as possible for consideration. I think you have a good shot, but push for a little higher on the SAT! Good luck!

[devinwebb907]

everything looks really good...except for your sat/act scores. build those up and you're money.

[MasterMadman]

I'm a freshman this year and I got in with lower "credentials" than you have ...
SAT: 1220
No ACT
GPA: 3.72
AP: Comp. Sci. A
Clubs: Marching Band (4 years)

I'd say that you have quite good chances of getting in. I was deffered on the early action but I got in on the regular application. Do early action for sure, and if you get deffered then justdo regular... I think that you'll get in...
