<p>Im in JSA and I took the hardest available social sciences and language arts classes</p>

<p>update: Apparently , I can tell the future cause I got a 1800 exactly on the SAT (1230 CR+M)they only count CR+M right?</p>

<p>Your GPA is a pretty low for UGA, but your SATs are good (I never took the ACT so I don’t know how to critique that) and you have a rigorous schedule. Depending on your other attributes, I think you might have a chance if everything else makes up for your low GPA. But not gonna lie, your GPA might kill you.</p>

<p>uhh i know, i wish id tried harder, i stressed my leadership and diversity in my essays i hope that makes up for it</p>

<p>how would u rate my chances?</p>

<p>Unfortunately, GPA is the biggest factor in determining one’s chances for admission (at least at UGA). As I am sure you know, only 25% of enrolled students had GPAs less than 3.68; a 3.25 is quite a bit below that. Is the 3.25 weighted or unweighted? I assume you understand UGA’s weighting system. You certainly have challenged yourself in terms of your course load, but I doubt if this will “seal the deal.” If you had a very high SAT/ACT to offset your low GPA, you <em>might</em> be accepted. With a little over a 1200 and a 3.25, your chances are low. Maybe 10-20%</p>

<p>Don’t they consider Ec’s and essays for admissions?</p>

<p>not as much as GPA and test scores.</p>

<p>ilyssa1257 is correct. Extracurricular activities and essays DO help, but they help when applicants are on the edge. I think that 3.25 is still pretty low, even to be “on the edge.” Do apply, though. You never know the outcome unless you apply. Good luck!</p>

<p>Not to give myself false hope but it seems like UGA has gotten easier to get into this year.</p>

<p>I know a person who got a 1700 on the SAT and a 3.8 GPA who got accepted, and couple of other people who have similar stats who got accepted, last year I knew a couple of people with better stats who got deferred. I know this isnt substantial evidence but just leaving it out there.</p>

<p>your chances are alright but hopefully your essay stands out
good luck:)</p>

<p>chances are pretty low, although you’re not too low. don’t lose hope.
be sure to write a well-written essay. don’t be trite!
they DO read essays quite thoroughly and respect essays a lot more than numbers.
good luck!!</p>
