I requested to send both the official score reports to UGA. However, I only see on this blog that you have received the October SAT scores, and not necessarily the new ACT scores for applicants.<br /><br />Will a disparity between my self-reported scores and the official score reports negatively affect me? I want to appear in the strongest light possible, and I want UGA to consider these new, higher scores.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />A Hopeful ApplicantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-21286962730298403852010-11-08T17:22:08.403-05:002010-11-08T17:22:08.403-05:00Mr. Graves, I really appreciate your fast and hel...Mr. Graves, I really appreciate your fast and helpful responses.

So in the EA process, a part of the review would look at your grades, a part would look at your overall rigor of coursework, a part would be on standardized test scores, and in some limited cases, we might focus on conduct issues or a serious low grade issue (D/F grades).<br /><br />As I have said before, we hope to have an earlier EA decision date, but it is not set yet. When it is, I will let everyone know.DGraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898528441077213024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-91529459296186051602010-10-30T12:37:58.278-04:002010-10-30T12:37:58.278-04:00I was wondering if you could please elaborate on t...I was wondering if you could please elaborate on the "parts of the review," as I am not fully aware of the review process.<br />Also, some UGA admissions counselors whom I have had the chance to talk to have said that they predict decisions to be released earlier this year. Any truth in this statement?<br />Thank you!Margeauxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-20166122656459173562010-10-27T20:00:21.311-04:002010-10-27T20:00:21.311-04:00Curious Parent: When UGA looks at test scores, we ...Curious Parent: When UGA looks at test scores, we take either the SAT or the ACT, and we look at all sections, but with particular focus on the SAT CR, Math, and Writing or the comparative ACT English, Math and English/Writing ones. For one part of the review, we do translate the three ACT sections to a comparative SAT range, but UGA does not mix together SAT and ACT subsections like GA Tech. If you take the SAT multiple times, we take the highest subscores to make the best total score. In the same way, if you take the ACT multiple times, we take the highest subsections of all the ACT scores which then are used for the highest composite. <br /><br />As for a view of the admitted and enrolled students for 2010, visit https://www.admissions.uga.edu/article/first_year_class_profile.html. I do not have an exact breakdown of Early Action numbers from last year, but you can do a search of my Early Action posts for more details of the applicant pool from 2010.DGraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898528441077213024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610885684347083635.post-32784723086983753852010-10-27T18:51:26.239-04:002010-10-27T18:51:26.239-04:00Just curious,
