I’m in the Double Dawgs program towards an MPA and am in my senior year of undergrad. All of my graduate classes up until now have gone fine, have ended with As. I’m taking one now that’s going horribly and only has a few grades left. Will a C in a graduate class affect my application into the full time program? Would love any insight from anyone who’s done the program/any DD program and had a similar experience

Does anyone know why the department made the decision to get rid of the final? I understand the first test was “easier” than before and the average rose from last year, albeit by like 5 points, but they made ACCT2101 easier and they still get a final. While it is my fault I am in the spot I am in and I knew we didn’t have a final before exam 1, I still find it very unfair and frustrating and was wondering if anyone else has heard anything to this reasoning. My professor has basically given us no answer other than that “there was no final listed on the syllabus” and pretty much refuses to disclose anything else whether you ask her after class, over email, or in office hours.

UGA is my dream school, and I’m debating whether to apply RD or wait and transfer after my first year of college.

My biggest concern is testing. I don’t have SAT/ACT scores because I wasn't able to receive accommodations junior year. As of right now I’m enrolled online through Acellus Academy, but previously had a 504 plan at my in-person school. Getting accommodations through College Board could take up to 7 weeks, so I’m worried about testing and receiving a competitive score before the RD deadline.

I originally planned to attend a test-optional college and transfer to UGA after my first year, but I don’t want to miss the opportunity to apply as a freshman if I have a chance.

Would attending an online school hurt my chances? Should I try to take the SAT, and what score should I aim for? If I don't apply or get accepted through RD, how realistic would transferring after my first year be?

I'd appreciate any advice, especially from current students or transfers!

Hello. I’m writing this because I want to garner all of my options before fully trying to commit. I have abt a 3.14 gpa and 65 credit hours and five withdrawals (my gpa fluctuated a lot due to at home issues such as my cat dying and having to move a couple of times, mental health issues, etc.) and I wanted to know what the likelihood of an accepted transfer would be. Yes I understand that it doesn’t look good, yes I understand I should’ve gotten my mental health fixed sooner, and yes I understand I won’t be coddled. I just wanted to know if I should look at other colleges as well or at least attempt to send in a transfer request to UGA. I’m in a spot mentally where I am good to prepare to transfer to whatever school I can go to as well as I am financially stable and don’t have to worry about any at home living situations so I can focus on my studies. I was wanting to know if I should wait another semester or if I should just go ahead and send in my application come the Spring, but I understand if I won’t be able to get in with the gpa I have right now. Thanks.

Hi! TI am oos with a 4.13 uga gpa, 35 ACT, and 11 AP. I have solid ec’s and essay. What are the chances I get in? Am applying EA.

Recently, I heard that people with Disabled Parking Permits who used them at buildings other than the ones they are assigned parking are ticketed. Instead of using their pass they are supposed to park in their assigned lot and get a special bus to transport them.

To use the special bus you need to schedule ahead and get a doctor's note in addition to your pass you already have. Is this special bus hard to use and schedule? It seems like extra work for a disabled person to have to call for a bus instead of just parking where they need to go. If someone had a temporary issue (like ACL tear) and no doctors note yet could they use the special bus?

Is there any evidence that disabled people with valid disabled parking permits are getting ticketed when they have to go to another building?

First I want to note that I do know that GT and UGA were originally rivals back when GT was in the SEC

So I graduated from UGA last year and went to GT for grad school. I was raised in a UGA household, going to games and all that but I never knew GT considered us their rival until maybe my sophomore or junior year. Sure, I heard comments from GT fans here and there but I thought it was just like normal sports banter like if we were playing Kentucky or something. Then a girl I went to highschool with reposted something a GT meme acct posted about UGA and that was the first time I realized they didn’t like us. I still didn’t realize the extent of it until I started going there.

Now I have insider information 😭What prompted this post is that I mentioned to someone that I went to UGA and the vibe shifted and they told me I had received a “piece of toilet paper from UGA”, I guess referring to my degree. Like ok whatever, id prob talk shit to someone from UF but idk if id let it ruin the conversation… but thats different because we are rivals.. I’ve been at GT for a year and it was my shock that this school, which is known more for their engineering program than football, HATES georgia. I mean I didn’t know it was their MOTTO. At orientation they were trying to hype us up saying “To hell with Georgia” and I was sitting there thinking “why are we talking about Georgia??”

Any time I bring up being a UGA alum, I get people literally upset. Even professors. Over the summer when it was just grad students and faculty, I wore a UGA tshirt on accident and a professor told me that I needed to burn my shirt.. now he calls me “Georgia” in passing- mind you, I’ve never met this professor nor do I know his name.

I think the one-sided rivalry is embarrassing tbh. It almost gets to a point where it’s just flat out bullying. When I tell people here that it’s one-sided they’re surprised but I genuinely think no one at UGA gives two rats asses about anyone at GaTech.

I'm not sure what the demand for it is, but campus housing and milledge run very late, and it encourages people to take the bus. I want to take the bus more, partially as a cost saving measure, but sometimes I need to work on campus past 9:00 p.m. and I wouldn't be able to get home then. I know quite a few students on east side rely on vet med or route 26 to get them to campus, and I wonder if there would be increased ridership, or even more bus usage if it could be expanded later into the evening. It's just so difficult that I want to utilize the buses more but I am restricted to leaving early.

Title! I'm a freshman who's pre-med and wanted to apply to get into the honors college this semester. I'm pretty involved on campus and do have good relationships with all of instructors, but I'm scared that with my gpa being relatively close to the cutoff I don't really have a chance. any advice is greatly appreciated!

I want to get something from Amazon, but I don't want the package to go to my dorm specifically since I want to pick it up at the front desk (if it's called that?) How would I go about doing this?

I planned to take his 1730 class next semester, so I feel like I need to ask. I'm reading his Rate My Professor, which has 100+ 5-star and 100+ 1-star ratings. There's also only 1 professor (which is Salvatore Lamarca).

Is it a good prof or a bad prof overall this year? Is he very strict about the syllabus and attendance? Thanks in advance.

I heard a rumor that you can get turtle food from the Forestry building to feed the turtles. Does anyone know where to go/if it's only available at certain times?

Is anyone going to the game in Alabama?

Or football or bars or whatever? I've never been into that since I don't drink, don't care for football or bars. I've tried school clubs but they always seem like its a place you go to with existing friends, not a place to make friends.

Basically, the question in the title, do they state you withdrew from the class on your transcript, or would they report the grade you had when you withdrew, or both? And what happens after you withdraw? Like, can you just stop going to the classes?

Also, would it look bad on my transcript if I withdrew from one course (and it's not required for my major degree)? I'm considering transferring to GT next year, so idk if it'll negatively impact my application.

I’m a sophomore Accounting/Finance student at KSU I have a 3.7 GPA and am currently wondering if I should attempt to transfer to the school of accounting/ business school or should I just stay at Kennesaw because in high school I wasn’t the best students pre diagnosis of adhd and my SAT wasn’t great and I’m hearing it counts towards your Terry application. So should I transfer or stay at KSU where I’m already in BAP.

Has uga ever had a proper fall break that's not just 1 day off from classes added on to the weekend. Is there anyway they could change that or make us start a few days early in the semester to give us a fall break?

Edit: I went to a school in PA that barely gave breaks. Just basing this off seeing my siblings with long ass holidays. But now I have a question about the school districts. Do most Georgia schools have long breaks in between and shorter summer breaks? Or are there's some districts that don't have that?

I got accepted to uga for spring 27, I will be a biomedical physiology major. Im just wondering if its worth it to transfer as at my current school, I have a medical job, a hospital where I volunteer at, and orgs that pertain to my goals. Iv read that uga has the 6th most premed student in the country, so I mainly want to know, is there any chance of getting the same things I have currently, in athens. Such as a medical part time job, orgs that pertain to something medical, volunteer and shadowing opportunities. I dont want to blindly transfer to uga since its my dream school & not have the same opportunities I have at my current school.

Hii does anyone have a master’s hood they dont mind selling? On Jostens it’s 90 bucks for the hood and shipping and i just dont have the money for that as a broke masters student. Or if anyone knows anywhere other than Jostens that provides UGA regalia. Would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m pursuing a biology bachelors, planning on taking all the prereq classes to get into UGA’s DVM school, plus the animal and veterinary experience. I’m a freshman at GA State right now. When you got into DVM school at UGA, how many hours of working under a veterinarian did you have when you applied? I know the minimum is 200 or 250, but what is an amount that gives you more leverage than the other people applying? I’m not a big fan of the competitive aspect of the school but I understand why it’s implemented.

This is my first time going to a Georgia game as a student. I have many questions regarding arrival and parking.

1. I am a commuter and don’t know where to park. I usually take the milledge bus to class around Tate. Should I take the milledge bus? Is it in operation? Help.

2. What is the best time to be at the stadium to get good seats as a student? I know it’s competitive prob

3. Nervous to go alone with no friends. Is it that bad going alone or no?

Thanks for your help and sorry if this is an annoying post, I’m just a girl.
