| The first thing you'll want to do is look at the Admissions web site for the University of Georgia:
www.admissions.uga.edu/6_fy_adm_criteria.html
There, you'll see that UGA has a core curriculum-- classes you must take in order to be considered for admission. The site also says UGA will give extra weight to grades in AP classes, and it says grades in high school are the most important factor in their decision.
Based on what the Web site says, it's certainly possible for you to be admitted to Georgia-- it's clear they value good grades, so try and bring your grades up now, especially in academic subjects.
You also want to bring your grades up and improve your study habits now, no matter what college you go to. One of the biggest transitions to college is meeting deadlines; since most college classes don't meet every day, it's really up to you to make sure you're doing the reading and completing assignments. There's no time like now to begin practicing these vital skills-- and since these skills will bring your grades up, you'll be improving your chances of admission at all colleges, including UGA. If for some reason you aren't admitted to UGA as a freshman, remember you can transfer there as well-- provided your college grades are strong-- and that depends again on study skills... |
