<p>Generally all classes count towards HOPE and UGA will calculate GPA based on courses listed on your transcript so this won’t be a problem.
A 3.4 won’t necessarily get you denied EA but it could very well get you deferred. If you want to show more of your personal strengths such as your ECs, teacher recs, and essays, then I would consider applying regular instead.
Also, study hard for the next SAT! Sometimes this makes a HUGE difference between rejection/acceptance. </p>
