<p>I have held a job for the last two years and have been promoted several times within my workplace. Also have been part of an extensive outreach mission program with my church and have traveled both nationally and internationally for the program.
Just wondering what my chances are looking like as far as acceptance into Honors for UGA.</p>
<p>As you may know, only early action accepted applicants are eligible for Honors. I believe you will get accepted early.
Some admits get auto-accepted into the Honors program so look out for that!
But if you aren’t auto-admitted, you can always apply. Applications for Honor require personal statements and a teacher rec. I think you have a fair shot but I would definitely calculate your UGA GPA and not give your school weighted GPA</p>
<p>Yeah I applied early and my unweighted UGA GPA is a 3.875. I just wanted to get an idea of what I might be getting as far as answers from the UGA admissions office</p>
<p>If you aren’t auto-admitted, definitely do the application. I have a friend who had a 3.65 GPA and a 2100 SAT and she got in (but on the flip side, a 4.0 GPA 34 ACT student got denied). It really depends on how you represent yourself in the application! You have a fair shot!</p>
<p>I think you have a good shot but would retake your SAT. I got in with a 4.6 (3.9 UW) and a 2220. GHP will be good to highlight on your application but I imagine you won’t get an auto-accept due to the 2110. There’s still time to take an SAT that will count towards the application! </p>
<p>If you don’t get in, remember to take 15 credit hours (about 5 classes) first semester so that you can apply then. You’ll need to maintain a 3.8 that semester and get a teacher recommendation as well. First-semester entry is typically easier so don’t lose hope if you don’t get in straight out of high school! </p>
<p>The honors program is definitely worth applying to, even if it takes a bit of work. Message me if you have any questions about it!</p>
<p>My son has a 34 ACT (math 33, english 34), 4.0 unweighted GPA, 6 AP classes, ranked #1 in class, founder of science club, treasurer of anchor club, treasurer of interact club, section leader in Marching and Symphonic Band, lots of community service hours, Eagle Scout. etc… Do you think he has a shot at an auto admit for honors? If not, what about admit after applying? </p>
<p>Received UGA honors auto admit letter by mail today.</p>
<p>If you received an auto admit letter can you post your stats? I want to see how my son stacks up. He hasn’t received a letter yet.</p>
<p>The UGA honors program keeps getting more and more competitive, but it’s definitely worth applying to! I’m a current sophomore in the program and I can say it’s been much more than I ever thought it could be. </p>
<p>Honors classes are much better. They’re smaller in size (discussion-based 30 student class instead of a lecture of 300), taught by more experienced faculty (professors that completely changed my way of thinking), and are generally graded less harshly because the professors know you could handle busywork and instead give you meaningful application-based assignments.</p>
<p>The honors program does everything they can to help you succeed. They host alumni events, honors speakers, an online networking system, the Center for Undergraduate Research, and offer many opportunities to get to know faculty. For students looking to go the med school route, many professors will see the honors name and be more willing to allow students to work with them on their research.</p>
<p>Myers, the honors dorm, is far nicer than any of the other dorms available to freshmen. I enjoyed having clean bathrooms, a large room, a nice, open lobby, study rooms on each floor, and living with the community of people taking the same classes as me. Myers is more or less social from year to year but I met all of my current friends there and found most people to be quite open. The location is great, on the Myers quad, nestled between two dining halls, and surrounded by bus stops. However, if you choose, you can always live elsewhere.</p>
<p>Honors students have early registration so you always get the schedule you want, which takes away a lot of stress.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any other questions! I don’t log onto CC much but shoot me an email at <a href=“mailto:amandaco@uga.edu”>amandaco@uga.edu</a> and I’d be happy to talk through any decisions with you. Good luck and go dawgs!</p>
