<p>im really worried about this!!!!! i will most likely ruin my gpa this semester (two b's) thanks to some god awful teachers! i mean COME ON, aren't seniors supposed to be enjoying senior year/getting a free pass????</p>
<p>also does anyone know when we find out if we’re auto-admitted? do we know once we get our acceptance letter? and does anyone know a way i can apply to uga honors w/o sending my senior grades on the transcript?</p>
<p>If you apply Early Action, your first semester senior year grades won’t be on the application. Honors Program auto-admits are notified in late December. It will NOT be with your admission to the University. Admissions and Honors are 2 separate entities. Honors auto-admits strictly by stats from the early applicants. If you don’t make the cut for auto-admittance in December, you can apply by mid February or so. At that point they will likely request your first semester grades.</p>
<p>My best advice is to try and calm down at this point. Do the best you can and be okay with it. From reading your other posts you seem fairly conflicted about where you want to go to college. Remember that any largish state school, whether that be UGA, UNC, UVA, etc, will have lots of people from that state. So while you are likely trying to get away from people from Atlanta the kids at UVA might be trying to get away from kids from Northern Virginia. It is all relative and more importantly what you make of it. If your goal is to do as little work as possible and make a high gpa, that will show to grad schools. Find what you love and be involved. UGA Honors is a great program. Go to an Honors recruiting day this fall and check it out.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you in your college search.</p>
<p>You never know with college decisions but just as a reference: I am top 5% at my school, 4.0 uw, 34 act, 2220 sat, all kinds of activities and awards etc, and I got my auto-admit letter today in the mail.</p>
<p>Got the Honors Auto-Admit letter today… Got something called the "One Scholarship for $ 1500 per year a couple of days ago (supposedly a diversity scholarship, but not sure how a white suburban girl 65 miles from UGA is diverse) </p>
<p>My daughter had Gifted in 9th and 10th grades. She did choose the dual enrollment route, but UGA is on record for weighting AP’s and not weighting Dual enrolled courses. Via DGraves of the UGA Admissions blog, they love AP (they consider it standardized) which is bologna. </p>
<p>I think you may be a little harsh about this issue, as from what I have seen, they look at everything in their review of challenging courses, from AP to dual enrollment to IB to Honors and Gifted. They do not add weight to dual enrollment like AP or IB courses, but they do see DE as challenging.</p>
<p>Maybe so… but not in public… There are 5 other threads from that site, just not frisky enough on Christmas Eve to prove a point. After those threads and being there in meetings in person, my daughter had already made up her mind that UGA was not the school for her. We’re just watching what scholarships come in compared to other colleges nationwide. As a taxpaying Georgia resident it interests me personally just how things work, how they treat people, how fast they are, etc… I have another daughter that will go thru the same process in 4 years. So any info gained, may be of benefit in the future.</p>
<p>Based on your daughter getting admitted EA, getting Honors auto-admit, and then a scholarship added to that, it looks to me like they most likely did take the Gifted and DE courses into consideration in the overall review. Tell your daughter congrats!</p>
<p>to ca22stewart- congrats on the auto admit. ONe question for you, does your school add points to your ap classes or not. Just wondering if your UGA gpa is a 4.o or if it is higher.</p>
<p>Someone asked earlier how they decided the top 2%. The top 2% is based solely on numbers (GPA, rigor of courses, standardized tests). Extracurriculars, etc., are only considered in regular admissions. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I got auto-admitted (didn’t expect to get in at all, but I’m ecstatic!) too, here are my stats:</p>
<p>2120 SAT (680 CR, 710 M, 730 W) = 1390/1600</p>
<p>32 ACT (34 R, 33 M, 33 E, 29 S, 31 combined R&W) ≈ 1540/1600 SAT (2250/2400)</p>
<p>3.93 GPA as calculated & weighted by UGA standard</p>
<p>2 AP classes, 4 semester college classes, and 14 semesters of gifted classes</p>
<p>Along with many extracurriculars & leadership/volunteer activites throughout high school in a wide variety of areas, but I don’t think those were looked at.</p>
<p>I haven’t received any scholarships yet, has anyone else gotten the Charter, Presidential, or anything else? I didn’t apply for Ramsey/Foundation Fellows.</p>
<p>ok, so THIS is why I got an Honors Acceptance letter even though i never even filled out that Honors application that was due Feb 1?! i am glad i didn’t have have to complete that application, the essay did not look fun.</p>
