Hi everyone, I was just wondering what my chances would be for the UGA honors program. I know that the average
ACT is 33 (E + M) and a 4.16 GPA. My stats are:
4.2 GPA
31 ACT (E + M)
Great Letter of Rec
Solid ECs
Average Essays
I was just wondering if even though my ACT is lower than average if I still had a shot of getting in. Thanks in advance!!
Have you considered taking the ACT again? I think it’s somewhat unlikely with lower than average scores unless you have some type of hook they are really looking for in the honors program. It also has been getting a tiny bit harder each year to get in too.
@acdchai do you think i should still apply?
Although you weren’t asking me, I think it’s always worth it to apply. It doesn’t cost you anything but a little bit of time to write the essays. With holistic review, you should definitely try.
I believe that the act score to be automatically admitted is a 34, but you could have a 3.7 and still get in solely because of that score. Definitely apply, you’ll be at the top of applicants in terms of act because of this and your gpa is solid also.
Thank you for the help!!
