My overall UGA GPA would be a 3.6 if I apply EA and a 3.7 if I apply RD.

Extras:
My Mom is an alumni, but uga doesn’t care about legacies supposedly.
It’s my number 1 school.
I was invited to their First Look program in 10th grade, they say it’s selective but I don’t really know.
I believe that I can get really good recommendations from my H Spanish 3 teacher and APWH teacher. My APWH also attended UGA so that may be an additional plus. If needed I could also get a recommendation from my Drama Teacher, also UGA graduate.
I do have major depression which is why my grades aren’t as great as they could’ve been but I’m still very proud of them, as academics and depression make for a weird combination. However, it did have a negative impact on my first semester grades of 11th grade (1 A, 3 Bs). I did manage to turn this around second semester (3 A’s, 1 B)
I’ve been a straight B student in Math all throughout high school. It’s my worst subject by far.
I plan on dual majoring in History/ Social Studies Education with a minor in Theatre.
Since my UGA GPA is a 3.6, I don’t really know if I should apply EA, and pray to get deferred or just apply RD.
I believe that I can write very personable essays that can showcase me well.
The PA program that I was a part of required me to stay after school for an hour for an additional class to continue learning the arts. This was in addition to our yearlong class. ( Dedication?)
Both schools I attended required me to wake up extremely early ( 5 am), in order to arrive on time as they weren’t my districted schools. (Dedication again?)
I intend on graduating early in December. Should I stay in school and take more AP classes or just continue with my plan?
