<p>Congrats to your daughter on her accomplishments. </p>
<p>GHP this summer should be a great opportunity for her. My daughter went a couple of summers ago and is still friends with people she met there. Do expect it to be REALLY HOT there. They give you a fairly detailed packing list, but plan on sending lots of bottled water as the water in Valdosta tastes like beach water. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Your daughter should have a really good chance at EA at UGA even without her class rank. good luck on the next round of ACT scores. Depending on how those come back, I’d highly encourage your daughter to take the SAT one more time. I’m sure she’s sick of tests right now. Look at the first SAT opportunity in the fall. UGA will accept the October test for EA. Her math score is great and her writing score is good, but her CR score is low compared to her other sections. UGA superscores the SAT, so if she can just pull up the CR section (I wouldn’t deliberately tank the other sections and you never know she might do great on all the sections) that would be helpful.</p>
<p>While she is a great candidate for EA, higher scores would give her a better shot at other opportunities such as the Honors Program.</p>
<p>Do keep in mind that UGA calculates GPA differently from how her high school does. Only the core academic classes are counted and no weight is given to Honors classes. UGA removes all weight given by high schools and then adds .5 for AP classes.</p>
