Hi this was a really great video! I want to apply to uga but over the years uga has become really competitive and I’m scared I wont be able to get in. I have a 3.9 gpa and I dont have impressive extracurriculars. I had a job at a cookie store, helped out at the church, volunteered as a Korean school assistant, tutored someone english, but did not have a major role in school clubs because of covid and the multiple moves. My sat score currently is a 1270 and im planning to take it again while aiming for a 1350+. Im hoping I can get in, but Im really doubting myself these days.

Hey girl I’m currently a Junior and really wish to get in when I apply in October! I’m worried since everyone has told me my stats aren’t impressive enough, I have taken 8 Aps and I’m supposed to graduate with 13, but unfortunately I got a C in three of those classes which hurt my GPA so I only have a 3.5 unweighted but 4.0 weighed. (Im still top 10% of my school) I have many roles in the school such as vice president for a well known organization, jr Representative, president of my own club, executive manager for a non profit tutoring program, a member of BETA, NHS, etc, and currently work two jobs as a sales woman and at a receptionist at a Vet. I will intern this summer at a hospital and will intern my senior year for a clinic, not only that I will graduate with over 250+ hrs of community service. I have yet to take my SATs but I plan on taking them in May. I’m in a medical program and wish to get in for the premed pathway, idk im just really worried and plan on increasing my GPA as much as possible this year. Should I apply early or regular? Im just worried.

Hi! I'll be a senior next year and am super nervous about college applications. I have my mind set on UGA but I'm worried that I waited too late to get my GPA up to a 4.0 or to have any of my numbers stand out since I have heard that UGA focuses mainly on test scores (for reference, I have a 3.78 GPA, which isn't horrible but not ideal). I am still continuously taking the SAT and ACT to try to get it up to its highest but I'm not that good of a test taker nor good at basic math, despite the fact that math has been my best subject all throughout high school. This year I really stepped it up academically and I plan to take three AP classes senior year to have a total of 8 and I'll have one year and one semester of dual enrollment. I am involved in school clubs and have a pretty decent amount of community service and some extra things I have done that may pop out and I plan to continue to serve as much as I can this summer. But now we've come to my problem: I have only recently (this year and next) decided to take my academics super seriously and, as I said above, I am almost sure that I've run out of time to make any drastic changes. While my freshman year grades were actually really good, sophomore year got me with chemistry (a C) and two B's. I had all A’s and one B last semester and am hoping to finish this semester with all A's. I just cant stop stressing about it since I really want UGA to be endgame. What I'm really trying to ask is: Based on what I have said, do you have any advice at all on what I can do to better my chances so late in the game? Sorry about the rant, and I really appreciate your video!!

Hi Lia! I want to apply to Georgia but my test scores are not in the middle 50% range that Georgia admissions display.

Thank you, and your video was very helpful!

Hello!! Absolutely, if the rest of your application is pretty strong in your opinion I do think you will receive an acceptance. Remember that the middle 50% is just an average so if you fall below that, its okay and still like that you get accepted. If you are uncertain about applying early action with your scores, I would say go for it. If your application is strong, worse case scenario you get deferred and accepted at a later date!! Glad my video was helpful, sorry for the long wait but best of luck in your senior year and college applying process!!

As far as your SAT score you could always study and do practice tests which helped me a bit but also try the ACT; this may just suit you better. They aren't looking for a perfect student but they are looking for a hard working, well rounded student. If you can portray that in your application there is definitely still hope so don't be discouraged! Best of luck!!

so i really want to get into UGA, but they have an acceptance rate of 50% and they want you to score really higher on your ACT and your SAT. i’m going to end my honors pre calc class with a D and ik that’s not going to look to hot on a transcript. i have all A’s on the rest of my transcript. i also have a 4.31 unweighted and a 3.98 weighted. i’ve done varsity sports (swim and soccer) since freshman year and i am also in NHS. i have my final tomorrow and i’m 8th in my class. i’m going to superscore my ACT and when i took the PSAT i got a 1100 and UGA wants you to get a 1250 or higher. i’m just super stressed about it rn. in my field though i don’t need that high of a math, but i’m just trying to figure everything out.
@LiaMiaa2222 жыл бұрын
Hey McKenna, one thing I would say is definitely don't stress it too much because that causes you to get more overwhelmed in an already hectic process. But it sounds like you're involved in a decent bit at school and have a really good GPA regardless of your pre-Calc class. Remember colleges measure your growth throughout your high school career so that one bad grade is not going to overshadow your whole high school academic achievement. As far as the ACT and SAT I would just say try to get your score up as much as possible but don't spend too much time on it because colleges tend to look at your application as a whole and not base their acceptance strictly on your numerical achievements. Sounds like you're in pretty good shape so far and I can see the commitment you have to succeeding and getting into UGA thus far so continue to work hard and it will pay off in the end!

Hi! Great video! I want to apply regular decision this year. I have a 4.0 weighted and a 3.8 unweighted gpa. My school schedule goes by semesters, so by the end of this semester ( around christmas break) I will have taken 3 AP classes and 12 honors classes. I also scored a 5 on the AP german exam but never took the class. I was born in germany and lived there until 8th grade before i moved to atlanta. I was awarded the seal of biliteracy which required me to take the ap german test and pass it with a 4 or 5. I am worried about my course load since i only really will have taken 3 aps by the time i submit my application. Also, none of those ap tests will actually be on my application since they will obviously be in may. Would that hurt my chances? For my sat/act, i took the sat in may and scored a 1240, and am taking it again and hope to score a 1350+. I will also be taking the act on october 23. For my ecs, i am a member of french honor society, awarded seal of biliteracy, am a member in 3 school clubs, varsity track and field, i own two businesses - a photography and pressure washing business. I work a part time job, coded a calculator app. For my essay, I would like to talk about the “struggles” of being biracial and finding your perfect fit, and how i believe i was able to find a middle ground. Would that be a good idea in your opinion? I know this was a lot but I would appreciate if you would give your two cents about my chances. Thank you!!!
@LiaMiaa2222 жыл бұрын
Hey Miles, first off thank you and WOAHHH!! You literally have done some much throughout high school and sound like a very strong applicant from what you have told me. Not having your AP scores should not hurt you because from what I know they just want to see how many rigorous classes you have taken so if anything they are looking for your grade in those classes. Make sure you study for your SAT in order to increase your score to make you more competitive against your peers. Your ecs sounds spot make sure to exaggerate your participation in your clubs if you don't have a leadership position. As far as your essay, sounds like a great topics but make sure you give them depth that other may not in terms of the context. Tell them something that stands out from all the other biracial essays they are reading and be personable and vulnerable. I'm so glad this video was helpful and I hope you have an amazing senior year! You sound like an amazing well rounded student so best of luck!!

Hey! First of all your GPA with your SAT and extracurriculars considered all together is still really good! Remember your application is not accepted based on one aspect but rather it is viewed holistically. I feel like your essay could also stand out a lot especially if it was written nicely which I don't doubt at all. I think the fact that you have all these items and you applied early action is a good thing for sure. Your essay and SAT alone will make you a pretty competitive applicant bc again GPA isn't everything. I definitely think you have a good chance of being admitted and definitely wish you the best of luck!!

Personally I say it depends on what the rest of your academic statistics look like and whether you feel like it would benefit you in the admission process. I would consider the previous years median scores and see where you fall in that area to make a final decision. I know people in the past that submitted 1200's ea that were deferred and accepted later in the process so it truly varies for each person depending upon your other stats. Hope this answers helps a little and best of luck!

If you have something super crazy or funny that you've experienced write about it. Ive heard some CRAZY essay topics but they work so don't stress too much about it just make it genuine. I personally would say submit early action because if you are strong in those other areas it may be a helping hand for you.

As far as your application, when it comes to the clubs and activities make sure to emphasize your involvement.

Hey!! My best advice would just be to try to maintain all A's if possible and definitely take the AP tests at the end of the year. There is no specific GPA but the higher the better! As far as standing out make sure you are involved in some extracurricular activities inside and outside of school if possible. Leadership positions are always a good way to stand out! Lastly, make sure you have pretty much everything together as far as SAT/ACT test scores decent by the start of senior year so you can apply early action! Less people tend to apply so its not as hard to stand out. Be sure to have a good relationship with some teachers for good recommendation letters as well! Feel free to reach back out with any more questions!
