Will this help me get in?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am hoping to go to UGA. And for anyone who doesn't know, UGA has decided to become very picky and raise the standards in the past years. I have a 3.63 right now, however by the time my application is reviewed (after 1st semester Sr. year) I should have around a 3.73. My first SAT was pretty low, but I will be taking the SAT and ACT a couple more times each later on. I also do sports, clubs, part-time job, and AP/IB courses (8 total). </p>

<p>Now to my question. Basically I'm wondering if mentioning that I plan to do Army ROTC, and that I got an Army ROTC scholarship to UGA, will look really good, and help me get into UGA? </p>

<p>And just based on my stats, do you think I have a good chance at UGA assuming I get my GPA and SAT up? </p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry too much. I know several people with less-than-stellar GPAs and SATs who have gotten into UGA because of the rigor of their courseload. </p>

<p>If you’re still worried, contact the ROTC head at UGA and express your interest.</p>

<p>Yeah, the average for UGA was like 3-7 AP/IB classes throughout high school. And I will have taken 8. So I think I’ll be good, but I’m still worried. Mainly because my high school offers a lot more AP/IB classes, so I’m hoping UGA won’t expect me to have taken a lot more. </p>

<p>And I’m gonna interview with the ROTC Dept. for my scholarship, and hopefully they will put in some sort of admissions endorsement for me. I just don’t know how to ask for one without sounding rude.</p>
