Chances to get into UGA??

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>HI,
I'm a senior and I applied to UGA and other schools, but UGA is my top choice. I just want to know what my chances are in getting accepted.
I have taken the SAT 3 times and will take it a fourth and final time soon. I know that the SAT is the third thing they look for and they look for the highest score. This is what I have:
Critical Reading: 490
Math: 670
Writing: 530
I will also take the ACT soon. I will update this after I receive the scores.
The first thing they said they look for is the rigour of the courses I take in high school.
This is what I have:
AP World History - 1st Sem: A; 2nd Sem: A
AP US History - 1st Sem: A; 2nd Sem: A
AP Physics B - 1st Sem: B; 2nd Sem: A
AP Computer Science - 1st Sem: A; 2nd Sem: A
AP Economics - Only 1st Sem, and I will def have an A.
AP Government - Only 2nd Sem, and chances are I will have an A
AP Psychology - 1st Sem: Most Likely A; 2nd Sem: Probably an A
AP Calculus BC - 1st Sem: Most Likely A; 2nd Sem: Probably an A
The rest were honors if they had that level.
The second thing they said they look for is the GPA or class rank. My GPA is around 3.6 and my class rank is top 10%. I've won many academic awards including Academic Letter and 2 Bars, which are the highest achievements.
Finally the extracarricular activities. This is what I've been doing:
Academic Team: 9th + 10th
French Club: 9th-11th
Student Leadership Ethics Development Team: 11th
Project SLED, which is like a higher level of the previous one: 12th
Student Council: 12h
Peer Leadership: 8th +12th
Future Business Leaders of America: 12th
I've also volunteered in various community service like recycling and stuff like that.
I've also worked. I started working at a restaurant in 10th grade and at the end of 11th, I moved to kroger. During the school I work about 10-12 hours a week. During the summer I worked about 40 hours.
I know I have excellent teacher/counselor recommendations and my essays were well written.
This is basically my resume. The only thing I am worried about is my low Critical Reading on SAT. I checked out UGA's 50% Freshman admitted last year and their Critical Reading was around 630 or so. So, if you know anything just post it, thanks!!</p>

<p>When you take the SAT this next time, concentrate on the SAT critical reading test and nothing else. Take lots of practices and go over the results to see what you are missing and why. Read about the "izzy" method on CC. </p>

<p>Anything above a 520 to 540 will get you in for sure--and you are likely to get in even if you don't improve, so don't sweat the test too much.</p>

<p>P.S. My own son improved his CR + W scores by 170 points using the "izzy" method (CR by 90 and W by 80--his math was already a 700)--so you should be able to improve your own CR score by 30 with just a bit of effort.</p>
