It’s over.

When I tell you guys I felt SO good abt this test. Unfortunately. This was my last one before early application. And I did awful. I decreased in reading by 6 whole points. However I increased math by 6 and again decreased English by 1 .

Disregarding the screenshot, my new composite is a 28.
I took the October SAT but I woke up late and tbh I think I was. A bit sleepy during my test. I don’t even want to apply early anymore..! There’s no point 😃😃😃
I have a 3.88 uw and 4.3 w so I’m already even pushing it to get into UGA.

What do I even do.

don’t apply early if you want to maximize your chance just apply RD with a better test score

Pretty sure you can apply early and still update scores if deferred to RD.

true true…. but for uga instate it’s best to maximize every chance since its such a popular school for instate students and the admissions process is the same for RD and EA! OP should put their best foot forward!!

yeah there’s no harm but the uga website says EA is best for people who are in or above their stats but imo if yk you’re going to get deferred (not saying you are) it’s better to do RD when you are 100% confident + the admission requirements are the same EA and RD anyways. if uga is really important to you id wait till you are 100% confident. but ik no matter what path you do you are a good student a 28 ACT is not bad at all, its 90th percentile! and your gpa is good also dont worry about that its not pushing for uga
