Deferred from UGA what are my chances

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay I am freaking out. I submitted my application, and now so many things are running through my head that I feel like I should have included. I'm so sad. Future reference to anyone else: Take your time, seriously. And even if the school isn't your first choice, fill out the application like it is. Stuff happens.</p>

<p>That being said. I feel like my GPA was the reason I didn't get admitted early. I recalculated my GPA and to UGA's standards it's a 3.36......</p>

<p>I look 10 ap classes (Calc, lang, bio,chem,physics, world history, it goes on). The rest were honors/gifted. I've taken one "cp/regular class", and it was my science elective astronomy. I did fairly well. Mainly A's some B's. But somehow my GPA is still a 3.36. On my transcript it's a 3.77, but that doesn't help.</p>

<p>My SAT (which I should have taken more than once) was submitted as a composite score of 1840....eh.
CR:580
MA:660
WR:600</p>

<p>Lots of extracurriculars (music, sports etc), volunteer work, and 2 jobs for work experience. I even had an engineering internship to include. </p>

<p>That being said, I was not admitted. Now I'm up all night wondering how my application could be better. I sent in my essays. I hope they were good enough. But, I just don't know. Does anyone know if I stand a chance. Or does anyone think I am shoe in? Now I realize I could have totally included more...oh well...</p>

<p>You could take the SAT again. Call them and tell them it’s your first choice; ask if an interview or writing a letter expressing interest would help. Good luck.</p>

<p>It’s okay. I applied to UGA regular too, and it is my first choice, but i feel my GPA is holding me back also. Your GPA is low for their stats. SAT is in midrange. I do not think you are a shoe in, but you do have a chance. UGA loves extracurriculars, and you seem to have strong ones. Also, essays really do help. Good luck! Btw, how did you recalculate GPA to UGA standards?
Please chance me back :slight_smile:

<p>Dont worry, you were deferred which means you weren’t flat out rejected. There is obviously something they like enough about you to keep you in the running. Your GPA is a little low sure, and you could probably do better on the SAT but your ECs should really help you stand out.</p>
