<p>Thanks a bunch! Everyone here was so helpful and very polite and encouraging! </p>
<p>gamomof3: yes I did receive my early financial aid statement and did not receive anything except HOPE. (Is this weird? cause I was auto-admitted into the honors program and thought for sure I would at least get the Charter Scholarship… I don’t want to sound arrogant but I read somewhere that the top two percent of applicant were automatically accepted into the honors program and the Charter Scholarship was for the top 6%…)</p>
<p>I really do not want to sound ignorant, but I get the feeling that the price of UGA and even the Honors program is basically paying for the right to party. For example, the notorious partiers at my HS were accepted into the honors and I feel my academic interests are superior (geez that is awfully egotistical). By that I mean I actually want to do something in college besides get drunk and do drugs. I know this is incredibly incorrect but that is somehow my perception of UGA.</p>
<p>On a related note, getting to know my professors is something I value in a college. I seek the opportunity to get to know a professor and be able to discuss a wide range of topics (not just ones pertaining to class) . Which do you think is a more suitable environment for this, Emory or UGA honors? I realize that every college may have this opportunity but I am a rather shy person and can’t see myself approaching a professor in a large environment (I even hate raising my hand to answer/ask a question in classes where Im not at ease). </p>
<p>Initially I though UGA honors would be the perfect blend between a large university (with plenty of opportunities for research and internships and etc) and small class sizes where I would be able to get to know professors. I guess this misperception stems from my lack of information about UGA honors. Do I only take some “honors classes” where curriculum is more rigorous and classes are smaller and take other general classes? or are all my classes limited to a certain number ? </p>
<p>BTW does anyone know when CURO decisions are released? or has anyone heard anything about people getting accepted? Not that I am expecting admissions, its just that it would be a tipping factor in favor of UGA. and on that note… Is Curo only for freshman? Is it the only opportunity freshmen have in partaking in undergrad research? </p>
<p>Sorry for asking so many questions and writing a book here… Its just I have 7 days to put a deposit down and I still have no idea where to go…!!!</p>
