<p>For those of you applying this year or in the next few years, this is important information for you and parents as well. The USG just released the 2012 dataset for Georgia public colleges and universities. UGA and Georgia Tech both posted their best ever records. UGA and Georgia Tech were tied for average GPA which was a 3.76.</p>
<p>For those of you in high school, if you want to get into these schools it's important that you start focusing and challenging yourself! UGA and Georgia Tech have both gotten considerably more selective over the past two decades. They're probably going to continue to become more selective as both schools continue to climb the ranks of top research universities. This is great news for students and Georgians, but it does mean that you all will need to work harder to be the best of the best. This is reflected even on the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>Note that the SAT is a composite of verbal and math - the most crucial sections. The GPA does not reflect that the number of honors and AP courses taken has also gone up at both schools.</p>
<p>UGA 2011 = 1221, 3.71
UGA 2012 = 1238, 3.76</p>
<p>Great to see the progressive improvement at both schools. Our research universities should only attract the best of the best. At a great price too!</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, as Georgia’s average SAT score went up, SAT scores went down nationally or remained unchanged. Average ACT scores also saw a dip. We’re able to see an interesting trend here. The average SAT score nationally(verbal+math) was a 1010. For the USG, the average was a 1110. As more and more people take the SAT/ACT, the lower the score gets. However, the opposite is true in Georgia. This is some interesting food for thought for parents.</p>

<p>The iphone app is really helpful. You can look up transfer equivalencies, there’s a full directory, there’s a campus map, a detailed internal list from bulletin(for majors), there’s information about awesome traditions at UGA, a sports pannel, a list of deadlines, UGA news and so on</p>
<p>The 2012 edition of Collegeboard data is up! UGA is getting stronger and stronger. UGA has received more than 21,000 applications this year compared to 18,000 last year and 17,000 the year before that.</p>
<p>hey guys i know ur getting tired of people asking for their chances, but it would really be appreciated right now. I have applied regualr decision with a 3.33 unweighted gpa . My SAT is an 1890 M+R 1280. I wll graduate having completed 8 AP classes. I have played football all 4 years and wrestled one year. I was a member of Model UN and took first place in a FBLA region competition. I realize that my gpa is fairly low but was hoping the number of APs ould help. Every thought positive or negative would be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>Wow! Great ECs! Excellent course load. Unfortunately, your stats are the tricky part. Admissions wants to see you challenge yourself by taking AP courses, but they want to see that you have succeeded in these courses to ensure your readiness for the real thing. Your GPA is very, very low. Your SAT score is slightly below average in comparison to last year’s profile. 1915 was the average last year.</p>
