[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UGA throws out your GPA and uses their own formula.  So when you are looking at reported GPA averages it is based on their formula.  They only take into account English, Math, Science, History, and foreign language and they weight them each on a 4.0 scale, giving an A a 4.0, a B a 3.0, and so on.  When you have your final number you add one point for every AP or DE class you have taken and that is how their averages increase above a 4.0.  When my daughter was accepted in 2021 the incoming freshman GPA average was a 4.13.  That shows you that most kids have only A's and most have quite a few AP and DE classes.  UGA is an extremely hard school to get into from out of state.  She was the first one from her high school in over 10 years to get in.  She went there, but transferred out.  During football season the campus was lively on home game weekends.  However, often times because a lot of kids have cars and live close by they go home on weekends.  She felt very isolated because it is a big party school.  The bars in downtown Athens do not check ID's closely so lots of underage drinking.  Greek life is expensive so she had to rule that out.  And you must always walk with a buddy.  Crime has moved into the Athens area for sure.  So, whoever said this was an easy school to get into has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.  Their admissions Dean is very transparent on his blog with numbers and statisitics.[/quote]

Good to know.. So they ignore - and +? i.e. B-, B and B+ are counted as B (3.0)?  Also, do they add any weight to Honors classes?  [/quote]
