i’m a current junior in georgia (metro atlanta area). i am a white female.
my uw gpa is a 3.93 / numeric 94, with my school’s weighting system it is a 4.0 (highest it can be)/ numeric 97ish
here’s the deal. my UGA GPA without my school’s added weight should be a 4.28. however, since my school weights AP classes differently, they take the weighted grade and do not recalculate it. therefore, they will see the 3.93 because the 2 B’s I have gotten have only been in honors classes, not weighted AP classes. I am so so worried this will put me at a major disadvantage, because my GPA should be my leverage.
rigor is what i am REALLY worried about:
I really slacked off sophomore year and took 3 on level classes due to being very committed to a sport (rowing) that practices 6 days a week year round.
I will have
- 5 on level courses (one is physics this year, but the only other option is AP and even on level is HARD)
- 6 honors courses (3 freshman year, 2 sophomore, 1 junior year, 0 senior bc all AP)
- 9-10 AP courses (1 freshman year [gov - 5], 0 sophomore year, 3 this year [apush, apes, ap lang], 5-6 depending on what i decide for next year)
- i am also thinking about dual enrolling at a local college next year to start completing pre-reqs for my major, but idk if UGA will care about that lol
SAT – 1390 (760 EBRW / 630 math). this was my 2nd try and i did not study at all. i am very confident i can improve math significantly when i do study and take it again in May.
ACT - 30 comp (36E / 25M / 32R / 25S) UGA ACT- 31 (only E / M). i really hate ACT and will probably take it again just to be safe but i am focusing on SAT.
EC’s – i have a job, i have a career internship,100+ service hours from one EC alone, some leadership, some decent ones but not many THAT impressive, but working on getting more now / this summer / beginning of sr year.
so, do I have a chance at all for UGA??? it’s always been my dream school (and everyone else’s in atlanta, lol), and it would be my ideal choice (esp. because of HOPE / Zell Miller scholarships)
i am also thinking about Clemson, Auburn, Miami U (OH).
my second question is, what are some schools i can shoot for with my stats? I am starting the college search process, but i have no clue where to begin, or where i stand a chance
