<p>I appreciate any advice. Thanks!</p>

<p>You’re instate, and thus, you’re in.</p>

<p>Your EC’s look good. I’d recommend retaking the SAT and ACT this fall. You fall below the mid 50% for admissions. The average ACT is 28 and SAT is 1263/1600 and 1940/2400. Raising your scores a little and having a strong 1st semester of grades will help boost your application. Talk to your guidance counselor about EA versus Regular Decision. The full application and essays might be to your advantage.</p>

<p>UGA doesn’t view instate versus out of state any differently for admissions.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you. </p>

<p>Here is a blurb from the Admissions website.</p>

<p>The 4,800 first-year students who begin class at UGA in August 2010 represent the most academically prepared entering class in UGA history. Some numbers have been rounded for clarity or consistency. If you want to know more about the class of 2014 take a look at these other interesting statistics.</p>
