Gainesville State College School Description

The mission of Gainesville College is to further the well-being of its students through intellectual, social and physical development. Central to the accomplishment of this mission is the Liberal Arts Curriculum, which serves either as a core for an Associate's degree and/or as a transfer unit for those pursuing upper division courses. Gainesville College seeks to assure the success of its students and contribute to the quality of life in the surrounding communities through cooperative programs with high schools, technical colleges, and universities, as well as self-contained career advancement programs. The institution, with an emphasis on diversity, prepares students to function in a global society.

The College also takes seriously its role as a service organization that responds to the economic and educational needs of the community and reaches out to the citizens of Northeast Georgia. By offering continuing education programs, public service activities, cultural enrichment experiences, and forums for public discussion, the college expands its tradition of service beyond its immediate student body and into the community at large

Question: Transferring to University of Georgia??

-I just finished applying for transfer admission into UGA for Summer 2008. I have a 2.89 transfer gpa with around 63 hours of credit and attended both Gainesville College and Georgia College & State University previously. -I figure that trying to enter in the summer gives me a slight advantage but I am still scared to death. In fact my whole life seems to rest on this decision that I will get sometime between march and mid may. -I would appreciate any opinions on how someone else views my situation, how are the chances? -Does my admission solely rest upon what I listed as my intended major? -Anything I could do to increase my chances (like sending letters of recommendation that are not required for transfer admission)?? -Any comments appreciated.

I think you will be ok, its a lot easier to be a transfer student...rather than trying to get in straight out of high school. For your major question, I dont think it relies soley on that...especially if you are taking a basic major like business or psychology (or something like that). Letters of recommendation most likely won't change there mind, so I wouldn't waste your time. If I were you, I'd also apply to North Georgia and Georgia State (both great schools) just to have a back up. I didn't know if I was going to be accepted to Georgia, but having back-ups made me feel a lot better! Good luck and hopefully I'll see u there this summer.
