<p>Hi, im a junior who will be applying to UGA Honors with the following stats. What do you think?</p>

<p>GPA: 4.3 weighted, 3.7 unweighted
Attend arguably the best magnet math and science program in Georgia
Class rank is within the top 10%
Soph classes: AP BIO(5 on AP exam), Post-AP DNA/Genetics, AP World History(4 on AP exam), Pre Calculus, Drafting I, Magnet Physics( its basically an honors class for magnet kids), Spanish III, Honors Lit
Junior classes: AP Chem, Post-AP Chemical Engineering, AP Language, AP US History, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Spanish IV, Computer Programming.
Classes i will take senior year: AP Physics C, AP Lit, AP Gov, AP Econ, Magnet Internship, Magnet Research( these are classes associated with an internship i will take senior year to get my magnet seal), AP Statistics, Honors Anatomy. </p>

<p>Will have all 4's and 5's on AP tests</p>

<p>SAT: 2090( 630 CR, 790 Math, 670 Writing), I plan to take it in june and get it up to a 2150-2200 atleast. </p>

<p>Extra curriculars
Policy Debate 3 years
A lot of tennis in my free time for last 8 years.
Played in the band for a coupule of years. </p>

<p>Also, for anyone who is willing to put in input, if I were to lets say go to a UGA honors program for undergrad, do very well in classes and on standardized tests, is it very possible to get into Umich, Duke, Yale, Harvard grad schools. I want to know if it would be anymore difficult to get into those from UGA honors than if i were to attend Umich, Duke, UNC undergrad. Any input appreciated.</p>

<p>BTW I am interested mainly in Med and Law grad schools.</p>

Right now, your SAT CR & M scores put you at the 25 percentile range of enrolled Honors students with your M score giving your total score a boost. I suspect that UGA would like to see CR & W scores in the 700 range for Honors. See the last paragraph in the below link about consideration of the SAT writing section.

<p>Does your school not have a limit on the number of AP classes you can take in a year? My school won’t let you take over 3 per year! and you can’t take any AP classes your sophmore year besides AP STAT. I got into honors with only 5 AP classes, but I pulled all A’s in them without the weighted score. So, you might have a chance it just depends on how hard your school is…and the fact that you have a 3.7 unweighted, which may hurt you. I had a 4.0 unweighted.</p>

<p>if anything is going to be a problem for you it’s your SAT scores. someone from my high school took all the same classes as me, made a B in 1, but only had a score in the 1300’s. she didnt, but i did with my score over 1500. not saying you need it to be that high to get in, but 1420 is pushing it.</p>

<p><strong>edit</strong>
i’m not sure how they look at the 3-part score now. we only had to worry about the 2-part last year</p>
