<p>Actually, at UGA one does not have to take precal first. You can take Mathematics of Decision Making instead: <a href=“http://www.bulletin.uga.edu/GenEdCore.html[/url]”>http://www.bulletin.uga.edu/GenEdCore.html</a></p>
<p>You can still get away with taking easier math and science classes at UGA. I think what makes people loose hope at UGA is more due to partying. </p>
<p>In certain parts, Georgia can improve a lot with K-12 education. But I do think there are certain counties (including mine) which standardized test scores are higher than the national average. I go to a public school. South Georgia usually brings the scores down. </p>
<p>I think Georgia Tech is a gread deal for instate, but many students are put off by all the math and science. I don’t know how you can get around it at Tech.</p>
