What is your UGA GPA? What are your English and Math ACTs? Those are what they will look at. Your UGA GPA will almost certainly be lower than your school GPA as they do not weigh honors classes. My sophomore son was not admitted. ACT 35 (35 Math, 35 English), 4.1 UGA GPA. My current senior was auto admitted- 4.37 UGA GPA 34 ACT (34 Math 35 English). Both got in EA.

Typically the kids that get into the UGA Honors College are above the 75th percentile UGA GPA and test scores, which this year would be above a 4.35. As the applicant pool has become more competitive, so has honors college admission. What was true three or four years ago likely doesn’t hold true now.

Definitely apply if you are interested, but it is very competitive. The biggest benefit in my opinion is priority registration, which is very valuable. In our experience some weed out classes are also easier in honors by quite a bit – example accounting. If you don’t get in in February and decide you want to apply, you can do well your first semester and apply then.
