[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very hard admit from my kid’s DC private that has no AP or IB curriculum. They were told directly by CCO that Georgia is a MUCH harder admit than Michigan for this school. The reason why is UGA does not weight for honors when they recalculate their GPA, so there is no way to get above a 4.0 in their system for any kid at this HS.  And without a GPA above a 4.0, OOS admission is virtually impossible. I don’t even think they make it to the next round.

My kid had 1 B+ in a rigorous school honors class (and had several honors classes each year) but that can't compete with kids who take a ton of AP or IB and therefore end up with a higher weighted GPA with many more Bs.  They also take a much higher percentage in-state than Michigan or Wisconsin.

But in a school with AP/IB, I can see it being pretty equal to Michigan or Wisconsin - though Michigan ED will change the ballgame. Also, Georgia is very transparent about their admissions standards in their website if anyone wants more info.[/quote]

They take what is available at your high school into account. My kid did not have AP/IB and got in early action out of state last year.[/quote]
