What are my chances for Georgia schools?

<p>I'm a senior at a regular public highschool.</p>

<p>GPA currently: 2.9 (unweighted)
Rigor after senior year: 6 AP, 2 Honors (AP Stat, AP USH, APES, AP Lang, AP Calc AB, AP Human)
SAT: 1070 (CR+M) / 1550 (Wr+Cr+M)
Sports: 1 year wrestling, 3 years soccer, 1 year swimming
Extra: Coached Soccer for 4/5 yr olds at local church, years of being Vacation bible school leader.</p>

<p>Haven't asked for a Recommendation yet, nor done an Essay. </p>

<p>I have six science and foreign language credits, and five math credits, do colleges care if you have more credits than neccesary? My SAT score won't be much higher at all, I haven't studied very much for it. Obviously, my SAT and GPA are an outlier for this website (; I'm going to definitely get all A's this year, but how much will that matter by when I apply?</p>

<p>The colleges I'm looking at are UGA, North Georgia, Georgia southern, Kennesaw, and Georgia state college.</p>

<p>bump for advice.</p>

<p>bumpin’ again.</p>

<p>Uga is a reach but you def get into the other schools!</p>

<p>UGA will definitely be hard to get into. You should be fine at GSU, Kennasaw, and the other schools you listed. However, you won’t qualify for HOPE.</p>

<p>Alright, thank you guys I appreciate the input. If I graduate with bring my overall GPA over 3.0+ will I be able to qualify for HOPE?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Why don’t you study for a couple of months and take it again? You need to raise your SAT score to offset your 2.9. </p>

<p>Don’t waste the application fee for UGA as you will not get in there. Kennesaw is probably out as well and I’m not sure about the others.</p>

<p>I beg to differ. I bet he will get into Ksu or at least wait listed. I’ve known people with similar stats to get in. Get ur gpa to A 3.0 and u qualify for hope. Id say retake ur sat another 100 points also</p>

<p>Okay, he may get into KSU, but I find it hard to have empathy for people who want chances and say they didn’t study for their SAT. Seriously, if somebody cant take a week and study for an entrance exam, they probably aren’t ready for college.</p>

<p>I agree. He should study and retake it. Especially since his gpa isnt very good.</p>

<p>I will study this month for the SAT in october, but what should it be to make UGA more reachable?</p>

<p>UGA is definitely a high reach, probably a little unrealistic because you show no enthusiasm for college, they will notice this. Make sure your essay is good. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>You’d prob need a 1750+ since your gpa needs work</p>
