<p>I want to get into this college as well and have just found this website and decided to post a reply to determine my chances:</p>

<p>So I’m a military kid this right now is my second high school i’ve been in since our family moves around so much. As of now my GPA is 3.33 and I rank 52 out of the 133 students at my new school has. When I lived in Japan I played baseball for the military base;I volunteered annually at our school’s furniture sale;I did summer work as a radiologist technician my ; I also was a part of a local youth church group; I participated in student council as a class rep.; Also I was in a program known as A.V.I.D. </p>

<p>Since I moved to my new school I have: Joined my schools Varsity XC Team; Joined Yearkbook Club, S.A.D.D, and Mock Trial; I worked for the Newport Gulls over the summer as their mascot “Gully.” I plan to play lacrosse during the upcoming spring.</p>

<p>As far as Awards I’ve been nominated for National Youth Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.; I’ve gotten an award for most improved player on my baseball team; and I have been on the Honor Roll for all 3 years of high school I’ve completed so far.</p>

<p>In addition, I have taken two honors courses each new school year and now I am taking to AP classes. I guess my question is what are my chances of getting into this school?</p>

<p>P.S. My SAT scores were CR: 540, M: 590, W: 580 and I am retaking them this December after I complete my SAT Prep Courses.</p>

Your GPA which UGA looks at primarily with the rigor of your schedule is the primary factor in admissions. Sorry, but your chances are slim. UGA continues to raise its admission standards every year.</p>

<p>Maybe not in the Early Action round but if you can bring up your scores and write an essay about how you are part of a military family, the moving around lifestyle it requires, how tough it is to adjust to a new high school and establish yourself, etc. I think people appreciative of the military’s sacrifices including those of their families. Give it a shot if you have the time and the application fee.</p>

<p>(Yay military brat! Which branch? Air force for me)</p>

<p>Your GPA is lower than the average, and your SAT scores aren’t stellar (although, my math and writing scores were lower than yours…but then I also had a 4.0). You’ll have to make the rest of your application REALLY good. I would apply RD.</p>
