Congrats on a great resume. You sound like a great student. However, your test scores are on the low side. Do you have time to try and raise your ACT a couple of points?

You should try calculating your UGA GPA. They have information about how to do that on their really great admissions website. If you can’t find it, call them and ask. The middle 50% GPA they report is the UGA-calculated GPA. UGA strongly emphasizes GPA (as they calculate it, not how your HS or Hope calculates it) over standardized test scores, so your UGA GPA could be key. Work hard for the rest of this semester and try to pull it up as much as you can, especially in your core academic classes.
That said, I agree with @Sally22 that you should try to take the ACT another time if you can. Also, work hard on the essay portion, assuming you’re doing regular decision. Let them see who you are. If you’re on the bubble, a good, authentic essay that lets you shine through could make the difference. UGA has some good essay prompts that you can use to show your personality (unlike some other Georgia schools). I know this is really a crunch time for seniors, but stay at it. The finish line is not too far away. Good Luck!!!
Definitely take the ACT again. It’s not too late to sign up for the December ACT and send it to UGA for RD? If you can get it up, you will be a much stronger applicant.
Yes, I’d like to hear how it’s going, too. Did you apply EA or are you doing RD? Did you retake the ACT?
