<p>I'm a junior this year, and I'll be applying to UGA and GT next year. Not sure what I want to do yet, but if I go to UGA, I'll be a pre med. My UW GPA is a 3.76(which is a 3.87 on the Tech scale which I think is the same as UGA's scale) and I got a 2040 on the SAT first try. (720 M 670 CR 650 W). I'll probably be taking the SAT again. I just want to know if I would be capable of pulling a 3.7 at UGA based on these stats. By the end of senior I'll have taken 9 APs and I go to Brookwood which is a pretty good school in Georgia. My rank is 57/around 850.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine. Getting into med school is getting harder, and it’s taking more than a good GPA and MCAT score, so make sure you’re a well-rounded student with a good application. But based on your stats now, it doesn’t seem like you should have that hard of a time at UGA if you put in the effort. Good luck!</p>
<p>I am a UGA alum and current med student, so if you have any questions, I can try to answer them.</p>
<p>Should i major in chem or bio? I am better at math than I am at reading and memorizing so I’m guessing, but would it still make getting that gpa harder? Also, would it be hard getting into research if your not in the honors program?</p>
<p>Chem is definitely a hard major, and you’re likely to get a higher GPA being a bio major. I would take your intro chem and bio classes and then decide which one you want. People will say do whatever you want, but then again, if you want to be strategic, it would be in your best interest to do the one that would get you the better GPA.</p>
<p>Although I was in the honors program, I did not go through the honors program to get my research experience (I was able to do it for class credit). You can email professors whose research you find interesting and see if they are taking any students. Research is pretty easy to find, but you have to be proactive about it and ask at the right time of the year (a few months before you plan to begin - most lab changes occur at the beginning/end of semesters).</p>
