<p>I believe if I get in I think I will make a huge impact on minorities, such as myself to be interested in coming to UGA!</p>
<p>Do you think I have a chance of getting in?</p>
<p>Chia, I don't know much about UGA admissions, but I do know that next year they will be using race as a criterion for admissions. Since there is such a derth of black students applying to UGA in the first place, you will be a really attractive applicant. I almost applied to UGA and then I remembered how extremely undiverse the school is, which is a reason why many black students aren't applying there. Good luck, but I doubt you'll need it. You seem like a great candidate.</p>
<p>I think you have a decent chance but you need to raise your GPA. You're taking some tough classes, and they like that (take more if you can, the more AP/IB the better). . .but just make your grades a little better, if possible this semester.</p>
<p>UGA is NOT that strict about admissions. I don't know where people are getting this information from. </p>
<p>95% of the people who apply from my school get into UGA every year. Each year, about 50% of those people are WELL below the UGA standards. For instance, I know around 7 people who got into Georgia with like, 3.0's & 1100s. </p>
<p>Don't let people scare you because the fact that you're in-state boosts you up a lot. The fact that you're a female kind of brings it down a little. But you're AA, so that helps too.</p>
<p>I'd say you're definitely in at all the other schools.</p>
