<p>honestly, i just see no possible way i should be rejected with my overall resume. I truly believe I should at the least be put on the waitlist if not accepted already. If uga truly claims that it thoroughly considers every aspect of an applicant's resume and does not place emphasis on just one as it says it does, then i see no valid reason why I should not be accepted.</p>
<p>You could probably call the admission office and ask, but I mean, there are hundreds of other kids thinking they should have gotten in too. What’s make you different from them? You were rejected for a reason, rather it be for an abnormal GPA or just not a well rounded person like they would consider.</p>
<p>Like I said before, University of Georgia has never been more competitive before. I just don’t see you being special in anyway that will get you admitted after you have been rejected. It’s not like your GPA is close to 4.0 and it’s not like your test scores were 2200+. Your simply wasting your time.</p>
<p>Why don’t you be considerate and save their’s and your time and just move on? You act like because you were rejected, it’s the end of the world. UGA is no different then GA tech or GSU in degrees. Outside of the state of Georgia, the degrees are looked at the same way unless you graduate tech with an engineering degree.</p>
<p>Sorry to sound bult and harsh, but it’s the damn truth. Get over it and let it go. I garuntee you won’t be admitted.</p>
<p>uh…they’re pretty damn special compared to some of the stats of those who got admitted or waitlisted. listen here ant, you think i would be acting like this if i knew i wasn’t more qualified than other applicants. i mean, id understand if i got rejected by a university like ga tech(which waitlisted me btw) bc their applicants are so far superior to me and those of uga but when i see some of the people who got accepted or waitlisted to uga, I’m dumbfounded with how i was not accepted. i dont just give up and rollover like that, im definitely willing to defend my resume. of course, u wouldnt know anything about that. now, thats the damn truth.</p>
<p>Eddy, how bout instead of acting immature you use some proper grammar and spelling and tell us what your “superior resume” is and we’ll judge for ourselves. Sound good? =)</p>
<p>Eddy, </p>
<p>I don’t think appealing at UGA is a good idea. Your resume really isn’t that “damn special”, and I told you before that both UGA and Tech are a reach.</p>
<p>I know you think that because you’re wait listed at Tech, you’re some sort of super applicant. However, it’s very likely that you are not being considered for Tech, but rather Tech’s Regional Engineering Program at Armstrong Atlantic State. I just didn’t want to say that before because I know how excited you were to be wait listed.</p>
<p>Hopefully you’ve been admitted to your match schools (did you apply to GSU, as I suggested?). If you really want to attend Tech or UGA and are rejected from both, just study hard, earn good grades, and transfer after a year.</p>
<p>I agree with G.P Burdell. I took a quick glance at your stats. Your SAT scores are pretty high and your gpa is decent. But that doesn’t automatically guarantee admission into UGA or Tech. You have to remember these schools have unique characteristics and they know what kind of students they are looking for. Your personal essay could have been what made or break you. Perhaps you didn’t convey the type of student they wanted. The point is I hope you have back up schools and that you won’t feel bitter after awhile. A school’s decision shouldn’t be a determination of your self-worth.</p>
<p>lets get a few things straight…</p>
<p>1) i definitely do not think i am some super applicant bc i got waitlisted by tech. i just thought the chances of being waitlisted or accepted by uga were way higher than for ga tech. can u really fault me for that? ga tech>uga
2) the damn special comment was a little over-exaggerated(was emotional based) but i definitely think i have a better overall resume than many who were accepted and especially waitlisted
3)gp, i thought u mentioned that u only said i was a reach for uga and tech bc u wanted to get me to apply to safety schools. so whats with the constant decieving!!! and u led me to believe all along that i might have a shot at tech when i really didn’t. listen gp, ever since i met u youve been the bearer of bad news but thats fine as long as you’re giving your honest opinion but dont play games and tell me one thing when it is not really the case. couldn’t care less if u like me or not but just have the decency to tell me like it is. honestly, i dont know what to believe anymore.</p>
<p>Do you know that a reach is basically saying, it’s going to be hard to get in, but you still have a small chance of getting in?</p>
<p>Like eveyrone is saying, if you do not get off the waitlist at Tech(which I’m doubting atm), go to GSU for a year, then transfer over to Tech or UGA and you will still have 3 years at those schools. Your making it like GSU is just the worst school ever when it’s really not. It’s just as challenging as UGA freshman year. You still have large classrooms which is enevitable at large schools. You will still see frats and soiorities. You will still see parties. It’s just GSU is more diverse then UGA. I can’t say much about Tech considering it is an amazing school for enginneernig and the weed out courses I heard are rigorous.</p>
<p>Good luck with the waitlist. I hope you can get ff of it and attend Tech, but if not, take one year at GSU and transfer. Get a high GPA, which means you will have to do some heavy studying, make sure your competitive and transfer Fall or Spring 2011.</p>
<p>To add on to that post, did you know GSU ranks number 2 in Student satisfaction in the state along with being number 4 in education, Emory - Tech - UGA - GSU. Yeah, I’d say it’s a good school if your going there to learn.</p>
<p>I got into UGA but I’m going to GSU. Nothing is wrong with it. Get off your high horse. My friends love it at GSU. What’s number one for student satisfaction and where can I find that information.</p>
<p>Collegebro: Are you serious? Why would you do that?</p>
<p>Yah, is there something with choicing GSU? I filled out everything, housing everything. I mean I know UGA is a good school too but I just don’t really want to go there. Did you get in Ducky?</p>
<p>I found it out on their site and i tried looking it up on forbes.com but couldnt find it.</p>
<p>Not eveyrone wants to go to UGA Ducky. All people care about is rankings and parties. These parties are going to be the determining factor of who is still there junior year and who isn’t.</p>
<p>I know alot of smart people who said they are going to party it up when they get to UGA and I’m like, yeah, we’ll see if your still there junior year. They think they won’t have to study but they will.</p>
<p>Pros of GSU-
-In the city
-Diverse
-More things to do
-Urban area so people who love the city will love GSU
-Up and comer</p>
<p>Cons of GSU
-Urban area so homeless ppl will try to beg you for money, but thats what you expect
-People say it’s ghetto, btu I doubt it.
-I can’t even think fo any other cons to it.</p>
<p>Pros of UGA-
-It’s a bit more well known
-Parties are wild
-Football team is good</p>
<p>Cons of UGA
-Large classrooms
-Parties
-Not in a urban area so there elss to do
-Non Diverse</p>
<p>I knwo alot of UGA student who actually drives to Atlanta on a regular basis to do things so yeah lol.</p>
<p>Every school has their pros and cons. None of these schools are even close to Ivy league status or the Top 20 like UCLA so I don’t see much difference in them.</p>
<p>Name of the scool certainly isnt everything and it’s how you use the education. You can learn much less at UGA if you don’t study hard just like you can learn much more at GSU if you study hard and vice versa.</p>
<p>uh…i dont remember ever saying that ga state sucked. if you’re not here to answer my question of appeals, then don’t offer any input bc i dont want to hear it. tsk, tsk, tsk…children these days.</p>
<p>Your question has been answered. You can appeal if you like, but chances of admission are low, so i’d advise don’t waste your time. Like i said before, Good luck. I hope you are not like that IRL because I would definately not want to be friends with someone who has such a ****ty attitude.</p>
<p>no, it was just in the heat of the moment. i hope u can understand that i really dont like it when people tell me i can’t do something or ive got little or no shot. gets me motivated!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is what happened:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You posted that you would attend GT, UGA, or nowhere else. With a 3.1 UWGPA (Tech average accepted 3.92 UW, average applicant 3.67 UW) and an 1810 SAT (Tech average accepted 2077, average applicant 1941), you were not a match for Tech or even UGA and seriously risked not getting into any college. </p></li>
<li><p>I told you that you had no chance at those schools and suggested GSU as an alternative with an option to transfer. You were upset by my comments and challenged me, but I believe that did get you to apply to GSU.</p></li>
<li><p>You applied, then I told you that I thought you had a “reasonable shot” at UGA. I didn’t mean you were a match, just that it wasn’t an impossibility that you might get in. I told you it was a 1 in 3 shot. </p></li>
<li><p>You didn’t get into UGA and panicked. Then I told you that it was a reach all along.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Another thing to remember: Tech has multiple offers they can make you. There’s admission to Atlanta, conditional admission to Atlanta, and admission to Armstrong Atlantic State (but not GT). Based on your stats, I really think you’re “waiting” on that last one.</p>
<p>what’s conditional admission?</p>
<p>…and i think the the AAS route will be for the most part taken by those who were rejected.</p>
<p>What is Armstrong Atlantic State…seems like a college I would not want to go to… I would reject that offer and go to GSU anyday lolololololololololololololololol</p>
<p>Conditional Admission is prolly like… We’ll admit you if you come Spring 2011 or something like that…</p>
