<p>Will my scores on the December SAT be taken into consideration for the Foundation Fellowship scholarship and the Ramsey Scholarship?</p>
<p>or is the November SAT the last one that will be considered?</p>
<p>i goofed and didn't sign up for the November SAT but I am however signed up for the December SAT... I scored a 1380 on the October SAT- 750Math 630Verbal. In order to qualify for Foundation Fellows and Ramsey Scholarships, I've got to score 1400 or higher. So it'd be nice to get another shot at it... hehe.</p>
<p>I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and by graduation I will have taken 5 AP Courses so I'm hoping I can get into the honors program. I got Eagle Scout at age 14 and have a long list of nice sounding things so I'd like a solid shot at Foundation Fellows and the Ramsey Scholarship</p>
<p>I hope you get it as well. They superscore your SAT scores based on your application. So if you apply and your SAT scores meet the deadline for the scholarship app, they will use the best of those.</p>
<p>FF and R generally go to oss....I know many many well deserving students who ended up in other states bc UGA just doesn't offer much financially. So apply to other schools (even Tech's Presidential Scholarship is a good one), U of Ala., etc. and see what they offer. You may be pleasantly surprised. My D got 15 full ride offers, 3 of which were for 5 years, all inclusive, spending money, summer programs but nada at UGA. Most were ranked higher than uga too. My D is not at UGA because of that.</p>
<p>Hey Atlmom, would you mind telling me what schools your daughter got full ride offers to and what kind of credential she had? I applied to LSU and Auburn in addition to UGA in the south, and I am optimistic about my full ride chances at those two schools. Appreciate any insight you can give me.</p>
<p>I personally have a 34 ACT, 4.1 weighted GPA, around top 10-15% class rank at one of the top five best public schools in Illinois, and mediocre ec's if that helps.</p>
<p>Generally go to out of staters? By a quick count, 2/3s are in-state. It certainly is difficult to get though, as this year's incoming class had an SAT average of 1538. However, I believe the application also serves as an application to the honors program and some other scholarships as well, so it makes sense to give it a shot.</p>
<p>When I went to the Honors Program/Foundation Fellows Info Day last month, they said the <em>recommended</em> requirements are a 3.7 GPA and a 1400 SAT, but those are just to be competitive. Technically you can apply with whatever score you want, but I personally don't think you'd be very competitive with a 1320...but you could always give it a shot; I might be wrong.</p>
<p>Those are impresive scores indeed. You should do well whever you go. But FF competition is fierce. We were told on a visit a few weeks ago is that FF's had an average SAT of 1536 and GPA of 4.11. </p>
<p>The numbers are a little lower for UGA Ramsey Scholarships, which are 1/2 of the amount for FF's. To be considered, the minimum SAT is 1400.</p>
<p>Georgia is getting tougher as the school's academic rankings are increasing. It draws from the growing Atlanta metro region, and there are very good schools in the northen suburbs of the city. How good? For an example, my son's middle school quiz bowl team was #5 in the world in the Quiz Master Knowledge Bowl one year. There were 2 other ATL schools above them. A few years later, my daughter's team was #1.</p>
<p>The Ramseys and Fellows are both chosen out of the same pool of the top 60-70 applicants for the Fellowship- the ones who aren't awarded the fellowship at the interview weekend get the Ramsey. Interestingly, last year the Ramseys had a higher SAT than the fellows, so there's more to the selection than simply stats. </p>
<p>Although Rhodes Scholar selections aren't exactly the best way to gauge a school's quality, it should be noted that UGA produced two Rhodes Scholars this year (both Fellows). </p>
<p>And also, as a gratuitous plug, I'd like to point out that at the most recent regional quizbowl tournament UGA had the top two undergraduate teams out of 20 competitors. </p>
<p>Thus by whatever way you want to measure it, it seems UGA is definitely stepping things up a notch.</p>
<p>Also, if anyone has any questions about the Ramsey/FF that don't deal with minimum test scores (not my area of expertise-sorry) I'd be more than happy to answer them to the best of my (limited) ability here or in a PM.</p>
<p>My d was offered the FF last year but ended up elsewhere. It was a very difficult decision to turn it down. I must say that the FF she met at the scholarship weekend were some of the most impressive we met at any scholarship competition. And the FF is one of the most amazing scholarships out there - the freedom and flexibility it allows you for the summer program is fantastic! It was an amazing weekend and I can see why there are so many top-notch students interested in this award.</p>
<p>At one dinner they have an event (can't remember what they called it) where they send the microphone around and all the students (the ones competing and the ones who are current scholars) stand up and tell something unique about themselves. When they first got started I thought, man this is going to take a while and be boring... But it wasn't. It was truly amazing to realize the level of students competing for this scholarship and the interesting things they had done in order to get to this level of the competition.</p>
<p>And the men who head up the Scholarship program were equally impressive. Vig180, are they both still there?</p>
