<p>I am a white male hoping to get into UGA fall 2011. I applied for EA but was deferred to Regular admission process. I was wondering what are my chances of getting accepted into UGA. It is my favorite and #1 choice.
SAT: 1160/1630
GPA: Is about a 3.75 or so with 3 AP classes (AP European history, AP US history, and Calculus). *my school doesn't offer many
I have excellent ECs including working in New Orleans Tennis Captain for 2 years (played all years) Interact all 4 years (been president and secretary) I have countless volunteer jobs i have done and have done a lot of many other things I cant think of at the moment.</p>
<p>Your issue is the SAT score. One of my sons applied to UGA within the past 3 years with an 1160 on CR and M, but with a 630 on the Writing (much higher than you), outstanding extracurriculars (e.g., captain of the football team, student leadership council, etc.), from a top UGA feeder school, and as a legacy – and he was rejected in regular decision. He was accepted to FSU (tough for non-Florida residents), Clemson, Elon and a number of other solid schools, but not UGA. Hope you fare better.</p>
<p>Man I hope I have a shot. I was debating on taking the SAT one last time or not</p>
<p>The rest of your profile looks good. Your SAT (CR and M) is about 70 points below the UGA median of about 1230. But my #2 son just got rejected by UGA, and he had a 1360/1950 on the SAT, including a 750 on the CR – so go figure. Admittedly, his GPA and ECs were pretty weak by UGA standards. If I could have merged #1 son’s GPA and ECs with #2 son’s SAT, then I’d have something! Good luck.</p>
<p>Ha yeah if only I could do that. I was debating on taking the SAT again and focusing on Math and writing but I am not sure if it will make much difference since I can only hope to bring my Math up to 600-630 but I am not sure if it is worth doing… Do you think if I had a 1200 or so would that increase my chances?</p>
<p>Absolutely. And UGA superscores, so taking it again can’t hurt.</p>
<p>But would it make that much of a difference</p>
<p>I think it will be very helpful if you can get each of the CR and M to over 600.</p>
<p>yeah I know I could get math but CR not so much just have to figure out how i am going to improve it.</p>
