<p>Your SAT is amazing, you have great AP scores, your schedule is good, but why is your GPA a little low? Your GPA doesn't match the rest of your stats...</p>

3

<p>yah i got a C in Geometry freshman year, i wasnt committed at all, plus in science and math im a B student. For some reason i just tottaly killed the math section of SAT, im really good at Language Arts and Social Studies.</p>

4

<p>If you are in-state then in, out of state 50/50.</p>

5

<p>Actually, the rumor that it is harder to get accepted to UGA is totally false. You can get this straight off their web site at UGA</a> Undergraduate Admissions - Top Ten UGA Admissions Urban Legends, but in short one myth response is ‘Admissions standards are exactly the same for out-of-state applicants as they are for in-state applicants. UGA does not have a cap on the number of out-of-state students that can be admitted.” You look like a strong applicant, but you are probably better off applying RD, especially since you will have to explain the imbalance of strong potential (SAT/ACT scores) and your lower performance (GPA) as well as going into detail about your EC’s. The strong curriculum is definitely a positive.</p>

6

<p>plus i am a pakistani male instate</p>

7

<p>so u think i can make it?</p>

8

<p>Possibly. But you'd need to show some more leadership in your EC's. If so, I think you'd have a better chance.</p>

9

<p>umm how can i do that i mean im in some clubs but its almost impossible to become and officer or president for me. I cant create a club cause its pretty hard in my school to create one. If i become a peer leader could that be counted as a leadership EC?</p>

10

<p>Yeah, since it's too late to really become an officer in anything else (I totally understand, believe me), then that would be a very good option.</p>

11

<p>Did you not apply for EA? I think you would have had a great shot. I was accepted EA last year with only 4 APs and 600 Math 620 Critical Reading SAT.</p>

12

<p>what was ur gpa?</p>

13

<p>You'll definitely get in RD; I believe you have a really good chance getting in for EA. Apply EA!!!</p>

14

<p>but i have a horrible GPA for EA</p>

15

<p>apply to EA you'll get in!!!</p>

16

<p>do my SATs really put me in the EA category??</p>

17

<p>Now you all are making me nervous for my daughter. Are these credentials worth of EA? She applied EA with the following:</p>

<p>1340/1600
4.0 GPA (weighted, not sure on unweighted--maybe 3.8ish)
AP World History: 5
AP Biology: 4
Taking now: AP Psych, AP Calc, AP Lit, AP Gov/AP Stats</p>

<p>All non AP classes were Gifted level. </p>

<p>Senior Beta, Nat'l Honor, Nat'l Art Honor, Gifted German student of the year, Gifted US History student of the year, letter winner/MVP/captain swim/dive team, significant outside athletics</p>

<p>Does it matter what the claimed major is?</p>

18

<p>your daughter is in for sure, and has a chance for honors, a 4.0 is pretty much automatic for UGA IMO</p>

19

<p>adil91, if you applied EA, the worst thing that would happen is that you are deffered. IMO, they wouldn't totally deny you because your SAT score is so good.</p>

<p>goodluck! im waiting anxiously to see if i got in EA too!</p>

<p>and gymmom09,</p>

<p>your daughter is in.</p>
