2

<p>You're easily in, and also probably into the honors program too.</p>

3

<p>I hope I get into Honors, as I'm wanting to use UGA as my fallback school; my application is already in.</p>

4

<p>Hey, does anyone know if UGA or GT keeps the points added to your grade when you take an honors or AP class in high school?</p>

5

<p>Yes, to some extent for AP. For each AP class they add an additional .5 to the final 4 for an A or 3 for a B. Unfortunately honors classes are just noted as strength of schedule and not factored into GPA.</p>

6

<p>No i meant like in my high school if you take an honors class and you get an 80 or w/e you get 7 points added to it making it an 87. I was wondering if they take those 7 points off.</p>

7

<p>Does anyone know???</p>

8

<p>If the grade is recorded on your transcript as an 87, then yes. Same at my school; we get 105% of the grade we earn as the transcript grade.</p>

10

<p>what school</p>

<p>i think you should be in, why not?</p>

11

<p>You'll be fine. Looks good.</p>

12

<p>anyone know when the scholarship deadline is?</p>

13

<p>The deadline for the Foundation Fellowship is Nov. 15th. But you really ought to get it in earlier. Last minute applications don't work out.</p>

14

<p>You lettered in chorus, dude, you're in!</p>

15

<p>this is my favorite thread.... i live near uga.... and everyone i know goes there.</p>

16

<p>you could easily get in.... but for the foundation fellow (my brother got it, and one of my friends did as well).... you need leadership.... and your SATs... are good, but not good enough unless you are an URM... cause uga gets applicants from all over the nation for the scholarship and the average SAT for the foundation fellows is somewhere near 1500, which means lots of ppl with perfect scores get in.</p>

17

<p>and for the honors program...... they only like to accept foundation fellows, and benard ramsey ppl, for freshman applicants.. most spots are reserved for current students, who didn't get in the first time... and they want to see how they do in college 1st... i knew a senior girl in highschool she applied for the honors program with a 35/36 ACT.... got accepted into yale... got rejected to the honors program. it's one of the best programs in the nation</p>

18

<p>I got in with lower SAT's and less EC's. I say you're in. But who knows with UGA, right?</p>
