Same source, student group and reporting period as the profile above.

Compare with a GPA calculated from UGA’s academic-course rules, not the weighted total printed on a school transcript. UGA also evaluates course rigor across the opportunities available at the applicant’s school.

The requirement, not a prediction

No single numeric cutoff is recorded in this snapshot. That does not imply that all grades are competitive or that there are no academic requirements.

UGA: First-year criteria

How to use this information

  • UGA’s cited criteria distinguish academic course grades and AP/IB weighting from school-reported weighted GPA.
  • Honors and dual-enrollment labels do not automatically receive the same bonus as AP/IB in UGA’s admissions recalculation.
  • The UGA institutional calculator on this site is for enrolled coursework, not admission or HOPE eligibility.

First-year, transfer and enrolled GPA are different

This page covers first-year admission. A university course calculator measures entered coursework after enrollment and must not be treated as a high-school admission recalculation. Keep the source’s scale and course set attached to any number you compare.
