<p>Hey, guys! My cousin really wants to go to the University of Georgia, but he's afraid he won't get in. What do you guys think?</p>

They look primarily at GPA and Rigor, and then they review test scores and community involvement.

<p>His SAT scores are terrible, but hopefully he can address that on his application and UGA can look at his strengths.</p>

<p>Yes I have to agree with sec4life. His SAT scores are right at the national average for the test (500) for cr and math, and Georgia seems like a school that would like to go above and beyond that. Does the school take into account the writing portion of the test? Because if they do, that will hurt his chances significantly.</p>

5

<p>Yes they do. A 1390 is significantly below the national average. That score will only reveal that his grades are inflated.</p>

6

<p>I’d tell him he has a decent chance and to not worry so much about whether he’ll get accepted.</p>

<p>Would you chance me please?

<p>Wow, I cannot believe I made a typo in the title…
Anyway, I know his scores aren’t great, Mitch &11:00 Sec. In fact, they’re not even good, but they’re not complete crap either. Their just a result of his testing anxiety. To insist that his scores prove grade inflation takes place is a bit extreme. He and I go take most of the same classes at the same school, and I assure you, an A is not given - it’s earned. Also, UGA has records of some of our students who have already been accepted EA, a lot of whom have decent SAT scores. I, for one, had a 2400 (superscore). Surely, UGA will not see gis score and deem our school as one in which grade inflation takes place.</p>
