Take the SAT and ACT as many times as possible, sign up for as many APs as YOU CAN HANDLE. Georgia is extremely selective these days. The average GPA for incoming freshman in 2009 is 3.9 with a 1300 SAT and 30 ACT score. It is important to take the standardized tests as much as possible to get the best score you can. Also, UGA wants to see that you are challenging yourself. APs are the best way to do so. And the more hours you have coming in as a freshman, the easier your life will be. You can...

    This school has everything from competetive curriculum, SEC football, fantastic food, and a small-town atmosphere in a large school setting. If I could do it all over again, I would pick UGA, hands-down. There are so many resources and administrators looking out for you every step pf the way. To make even more of your experience, greek life has a strong presence and has made a huge difference in who I am as a person has allowed me to be a part of the community through charity work.

    Rated one of the top Universities in the state of Georgia. The University of Georgia is a great place for diversity and warmth. At a school with more than 26,000 students, you feel like you know half the school in a short amount of time due to the friendliness of fellow students.

    They have an extensive roster of classes for so many majors that the school can literally cater to anyone's prospective major. The staff and counselors are super friendly and I instantly felt at home. The surrounding city is gorgeous and the campus is wonderful.

    Having come from a family of UGA graduates, I will say that I was originally apprehensive to attend. However now that I am here, I'm quite content with the large campus and staff. The energy and school spirit here is very refreshing.

    The school is huge and overwhelming at first, but once you nestle into your specific degree, it's wonderful. The transportation system is fabulous and for being a top ten on the party school list, I feel relatively safe here.
