I’m actually pretty confused about their admissions as well. My GPA is pretty good (3.8), but I didn’t take any AP’s at all until the 2 that I’m taking as a senior… and my SAT was super average (1260/1600, 1930/2400) but I was accepted early! I’m even listed as out-of-state, because I haven’t lived in Georgia for a full year yet… which is supposed to be harder for me to get in. I don’t know why I was accepted–I know a lot of SMART people who were deferred. I guess it might be because I’m multiracial and because I let them know that the school I used to go to before I moved here was pretty hard (regular classes could be compared to honors-level here, I’d say)…? Ah well, the only thing that matters is that I got in :)
