<p>Are all of you Foundation Fellows applicants? Have any scholarships shown up on your
status?</p>
<p>No letter here. Peachtree city.
34 ACT/1530/2150 SAT/3.895 unweighted gpa…/4+ weighted not sure how UGA figures it
8 AP’s.</p>
<p>really not sure if my son will get auto admitted. I’m going to give it at least until Tuesday night before I have him start writing that essay.</p>
<p>Islandboy18 those are incredible stats!</p>
<p>To everyone- our stats all seem in range, except islandboy you are off the charts with the 12 AP and 3 dual enrollment!! Woohoo!! I really believe we will all be ok but of course you just don’t know until… yes we applied for foundation fellow and no, there are no scholarships on our status page. I believe that is a good thing for fellow applicanmts. My oldest son is currently a sophomore at UGA and in the honors program. He did not get chosen for the fellow weekend but in a letter telling him that, it offered him the presidential scholarship ($3000 per year), which is still great in addition to Hope/Zell Miller, and the letter stated that this was based on his fellow application. All the fellows and presidential scholars he knows all were notified via the fellow letter, and not online in December,so I think not getting a scholarship now means you are being considered for something bigger now and that decision will be made first before something like a charter, which of course is still good.
Obviously there are quite a few of us waiting. Check in tomorrow. I am hoping for good news for all! How many of you is UGA your definite choice? It is for my son. He wants to go into television/film production and plans to double major in Mass Media Arts-Journalism and Film Studies.</p>
<p>Thinking of you all as you wait for the mailman! My d1 is a fellow in class of 2015. She never had any scholarships show up her status.</p>
<p>Islandboy… St Simons? There are 2 great fellows already from St Simons.</p>
<p>@Halycon and gasenioryear, thank you! I’m hoping for the best!</p>
<p>@Gibson Friends haha!</p>
<p>Got my auto admit letter. Think it came in yesterday though. I’m from Atlanta.</p>
<p>Ok, my son got the letter today - offered acceptance into 2013 Honors Program first year class! Advantages of small town- on my way to work, I stopped at post office and asked them to please find my mail because I coud not wait until 3:00. Son had already asked me to “tear it open”- his words. I called his guidance counselor and she will find him today and give him the news. Everyone else on here- your stats all seemed same or higher than my son’s so I am expecting good news for all- good luck and let us know. For location purposes we are an hour south of Macon but 3 hours north of St. Simons.</p>
<p>My son got his auto acceptance letter today.
We live in Peachtree City south of Atlanta.
Everyones stats are high I’m sure you will all get in.Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I got the letter! Now just to wait until late January… good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Honors letter arrived in Dallas, Texas today also.</p>
<p>Congrats guys- now get your housing request in for Myers.</p>
<p>Islandboy- If you are friends with the fellows you probably know my d… at least from facebook!</p>
<p>gaonmymind and socialdramamama any word yet?</p>
<p>I didn’t get an auto admit letter, I’m from metro Atlanta, URM, 2150 SAT and 4.47 GPA (3.97 UW). I’m pretty surprised, but maybe there’s still hope for a letter later this week :/</p>
<p>amb04a- i am still hoping for you? Just curious- what is your cr/math subtotal? I think that is what they use along with gpa and course rigor.</p>
<p>Those are fantastic stats amb04a. From what I’ve been hearing this class will be a strong one. Yes what is your cr/math total, and how many AP courses have you taken?</p>
<p>No letter yet. I’m not feeling too good about this.</p>
<p>No letter yet. D does not want stats posted but they are similar to all on here. Worried
she will not have weight added to GPA so she has “only” an Unweighted 4.0. Honor’s site
says wait until Jan 1 to apply. Maybe an Honors Rep will post on here and enlighten us. We
are between Athens & Atlanta so mail should have reached us already.</p>
<p>Most likely the mail just got stuck somewhere and those waiting will get auto admitted since your stats are around what the ones who got in. But even if you don’t get a letter there is no doubt in my mind that you will get in when you apply! The only difference is that it requires another essay.</p>
<p>I am wishing the best for both of you gaonmymind and socialdramamama. @ gaonmymind- I am worried that you did not get in this round. I absolutely believe you deserve to, but I think so many schools do not give points and so those kids end up with a weighted UGA gpa of over 4.0. Stats (when my son was admitted two years ago) not for the honors class but stats for the auto admit group was 4.0 or over. As i said earlier they are trying to even things out for admissions purposes, but for the top tier students meeting the requirements to apply for fellow, I believe it hurts them because they most likely never needed their school’s points to maintain a 4.0, yet they are prevented from getting a 4.o+ at UGA because of the points. That being said, your child is in a prime spot for admission by application- just take the time for the essays. I know this is disappointing though if you do not get the letter because your child has worked so hard and is an incredible student. I am still praying it got lost but am worried for you because of the 4.0. @socialdramamama- my son’s class and the year before, students with 1490, 4.0 and rigor (3 students to be exact). Students with same stats except a 1460 did not get auto admit. Do not know your D’s sat but that is just for reference. Her other stats are incredible, and I am hoping your letter is caught up with the Christmas cards! Good luck to both of you and I mean this sincerly that I am just as anxious for your child- feel as if we are family on cc. Last night before I went to bed I checked cc to see if there was an update from you two, and I told my husband I was worried about gaonmymind and socialdramamama! Good luck and keep me posted!</p>
