<p>I kinda don’t agree with you honestly eddy. My points were of a different cause. I just find it rather odd that UGA stresses that High School Grades carry the most weight. This is exactly why I can see you getting rejected. Your GPA wasn’t strong enough. Mines definately wasn’t. I already expected a rejection, but I just find it odd that they put the “High School Graves Carry the most weight” line aside to admit students who weren’t up to caliber with alot of the students to say the least.</p>
<p>Yes, I can understand personality does have ALOT to do with it. I would not want to admit a nerd who is anti-social in my school. I would want a well-rounded person who has an amazing personality.</p>
<p>It’s just the funny thing is, their Early Decision completely contradicts this comment. That is focused just on stats. This means that they can get people who “Don’t have a personality that fits their school”. Eventually UGA will drop the Early Decision as they get closer to the Top 30 schools, if ever. As you can see many of the top schools have done this like UVA. IMO, Early decision just doesn’t balance out right. As you can see UVA is extremely competitive and it’s an amazing school. Early decision is a smart idea atm for UGA, but they don’t have the right to say they want a certain personality if they don’t do a holistic review of the applicants in the ED pool.</p>
<p>Like I said, we will never know what goes through the minds of Admission Officers/Commissioners. They have their mindst of who they want to admit, rather it’d be an applicant who has a 3.0 GPA and 1400 SAT Score or a 4.0 GPA with a 1050 SAT Score. The best thing to do is just apply as yourself. If you aren’t there fit, so be it. You will certainly be a fit at some other place.</p>
<p>This post was not bashing UGA, but simply stating that some things they state contradicts one another.</p>
