Choosing the Right College/Admission

Question
I was wondering if you know what gpa, SAT scores, and recomendations you need in order to be accepted into University of Georgia. Thanks.

Answer
According to U.S. News & World Report:

GPA. The average GPA for admittance is 3.7. Remember, though, that average means some were lower and some were higher.

SAT. Scores were in the 1130-1330 range.

Recommendations. While they do look at recommendations, GPA and SAT scores are viewed as more important.

Bear in mind that it's all a combination; higher test scores help weaker GPAs, and Higher GPAs help weaker test scores.
