<p>My college counselor added UGA to my list. I go to a private school outside of Boston, GPA is 3.66 weighted, and SATs are 1970 (CR:620 M:670 W:680)</p>
<p>Can someone tell me how hard it is to get into UGA from out of state? I'm just wondering if I should keep it on my list and maybe visit campus... if it's going to be too much of a reach to get in then I don't think I'll waste my time.</p>
<p>I think you have potential, so don't give up on UGA. You have a good chance of getting into UGA (in my opinion). After all, I got in, and that is saying something. ;)</p>
<p>You should get in without too much trouble.</p>
<p>I would visit UGA before you apply if you can. I go to school here, but before I decided, I visited a university in Boston that I was accepted to. In the end, I decided to stay here, but it was really helpful for me to visit and guage both environments. I think you have a good shot of getting into UGA, and being OOS helps because UGA is constantly trying to diversify campus with students from around the country.</p>
<p>Oh wow... Yeah I always thought they tried to keep it in-state but I guess I'll definitely look further into it now if I actually have a shot. I'll just have to see how I'd fit in there but thanks for your replies.</p>
<p>As far as I know, it's not so much that UGA tries to keep it in-state as the HOPE makes UGA EXTREMELY attractive to in-state kids, so that many people apply.</p>
<p>You should be fine to get in. Might make the Honors program, too.</p>
<p>You should have a good shot of getting in...honors program may be a reach though (freshman year admission is way easier though).</p>
<p>I actually have a friend that came from Boston, but ended up transferring back because of the difference between "northern and southern culture." Apparently a lot of people notice big differences...be sure to talk to friends who have come south.</p>
<p>yeah, funny you mention that... my friend's cousin spent one day there before taking her car and driving home. kind of crazy haha... but yeah I'm already looking at a few other non-state schools in the southeast. I'd be nervous going to any state school in the south, so I don't think UGA would be a good fit for me if I have any concerns.</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong though...I love Athens and UGA. I think there's something there for about anyone, just like I said try to visit and/or talk to your friends...it's different for everyone.</p>
