<p>UGA has this policy where you have to have 30 credit hours by April 1st in order to be able to transfer to UGA after your Freshmen year. However, thats a problem. Most people are done with the 30 hours at the end of their Spring semester, around early May. But UGA wants you to have 30 hours before April 1st to transfer.</p>
<p>Fortunately there is a solution. If you have enough AP Credits to add to your first semester of college credit hours to equal at least 30 credit hours then you can transfer. </p>
<p>So I was wondering if anyone has transferred to UGA using the AP Credits to hit 30 hours?
I go to Georgia State University, so I was also wondering if anyone from GSU has tried this?</p>
<p>I think one of the transfer requirements is completing at least one year of college prior to the term of enrollment. That requirement precludes people from transferring after the fall semester of their freshmen year. Does this answer your question?</p>
<p>In high school, I was not given any advice at all as the administration had favorites and I don’t suck up to people at all, so I was never given any attention even when I was in the top of my classes and took several AP and IB courses. Now, I need to transfer from GSU, which was a horrible choice ,I don’t know what I was thinking. I am either deciding between UGA or Tech, but is the liberal arts education at Tech any good? Would I be wasting my time and should just go to UGA? I plan to go to graduate school at an Ivy for my major in International Relations and History, but I have no idea. I am even considering Duke, but they only accept in the Fall, so I have some time before deciding to attend my junior year, if I still want to go. Please give me an honest answer. I have a close friend that goes there for aerospace and she hates it and I am unsure whether it will be worth it or which is better.</p>
<p>I actually did too transfer from GSU to UGA. I however did not transfer during the fall semester, I transfered spring semester. After my spring semester at GSU, I still did not have 30 credits to transfer, so I had to take summer classes, and yet still one of my courses did not transfer, so I still did not have enough credits. However I did have one AP course worth 3 credit, so I had exactly 30 credit hours by the September 1st deadline. </p>
<p>If you plan on adding the AP credit to your transcript, at GSU, you have to specify to the onestopshop that you want your AP credit to be added to your transcript, or else they won’t. I did not know this, so I was rejected by UGA when my transcript showed 27 credits instead of 30. However, they told me I could resend another transcript with my AP credit and they will look at my app again. So just a heads up to avoid all of the frustration! Good luck</p>
<p>ok so im a high school senior and i know i wont get into UGA cuz i slacked off big time freshmen and sophomore year. if i started college in the summer of '12 and finish my second semester in the fall of '12, does that count as a full year? im sure ill have a ****load of AP credits, by the end of high school ill have 12 AP classes… ultimately i want to go to UGA as soon as possible so i dont miss the full experience, but i know i cant get in regularly as a freshmen cuz of my horrible gpa.</p>
<p>Okay! So, I was a freshman last year at Georgia Southern and although I loved it I decided I needed to change. So when I looked at the transfer website for UGA, I thought you just had to have 30 credits by the end of the semester. Well, we all know that was wrong. Anyways, I applied and waited and waited. I finally had just given up because I knew you had to have 30 hours by the application date. Well, I received in May asking for the rest of my transcripts. It was pretty awesome. So after I sent them my final transcript, I was accepted in Early June. Anyways, it never hurts to apply. I just prayed for a long time and really hard because I knew it was where I needed to be. I had good grades my first semester and I think that’s why they asked to see the rest of my transcripts. So, work hard your first semester and apply. It never hurts. </p>
<p>But don’t bank too much on my story. I honestly think it was a work of God.</p>
