<p>I'm planning to apply EA and do I have a high chance to get admitted?
Only thing I'm worried about is my gpa..it's 3.3 core gpa. I have taken 3 honors class out of 5 that my school offers and I didn't take 1 AP that was offered for Juniors
At least i won't get rejected right? Deferal would be fine because I have a great ECs. :)
Only reason I want to apply EA is because i don't have to write any essay. :]</p>

<p>The GPA might kill you for EA, but you might have a chance with RD if you explain why your SAT is so high, but your GPA is low.</p>
<p>idk, I'm thinking in</p>
<p>I got in EA with a 3.5, 1890 SAt 6 AP and all hon</p>
<p>I applied EA and was deferred with a 3.7 GPA and 31 ACT. I had 8 AP classes and 5 advanced classes. My counselor was told my curriculum wasn't rigorous enough....go figure. I still haven't heard anything. Also, I am OOS.</p>
<p>painholic: Honestly, you better start practicing your essay skills! UGA looks at GPA and rigor of currculum foremost and test scores with less favor. From the link below, you can see the mean GPA of EA students accepted for 2009 was 3.95. I'm not sure a 3.3 will cut it for RD.</p>
<p>University</a> notifies 'early-action' applicants - News</p>
<p>3.95 unweighted or weighted? If it’s unweighted, that doesn’t make any sense because UGA isn’t that great of a school (academically speaking).</p>
<p>actually, UGA is extremely competitive.</p>
<p>if you’re instate, it shouldn’t be a problem. if you’re in a private school, it’s a plus.</p>
<p>painholic: My suggestion would be to push yourself over the next month and a half to do well this semester, and really push in the fall. This will show a strong trend, and challenge yourself senior year. I would not think you would be in the range for EA, so why do it? Apply RD and take your time with the app. Happyface2002, again you are giving out bad advice! No, instate and OOS are not looked at differently at UGA, and no, private schools are not automatically a plus. Where are you getting this stuff?! There are strong public and private schools as well as weak public and private ones, and most competitive colleges track these things. But even then, if a student from an limited school does great, it shows they can rise above their situation. On the flip side, if a student at a great private school is just sliding by, then most colleges will see the student as wasting a great opportunity. They look at the applicant within the larger picture of their overall situation.</p>
