I would like to know (if anyone can tell me) how selective georgia has become? I guess my impression has been that it used to be known as kind of a big, raucous party school, and over the last 5 years or so has become more selective, but it seems like just this and last year it has bordered on being highly selective. Would a student with my qualifications be considered an “average” applicant, or would I be on the lower end of the scale (for regular decisions)? I am just so confused, because people keep telling me that they have heard of or known people with much lower rankings who have gotten accepted, no problem. And I look on websites with statistics, and most of the applicants who reported acceptance to UGa on these college databases had similar or sometimes lower marks than I. AHH i am starting to really stress!

GPA uw 3.6; w 3.894. Schedule weighted heavily towards AP’s and Honors in the humanities areas.
ACT: got a 26 the first time, but have been taking tons of ACT prep and probably will get a 28 on the october date, and hopefully a 29-30 on december.
Extracurriculars: 5-6 clubs/activities I genuinely put a lot of time into, and have been keeping up with consistently
EXCELLENT recs and essays.

Whaddya think?
