Seniors- College Admission Testing Has Some Important Changes

Wow!  Seniors, you are living (and graduating) in some CRAZY times.  There are some things you guys are having to go through that have completely disrupted the normal culmination of a high school education.  Here is a bit of news that will have an effect on your college-going plans.

The University System of Georgia has suspended testing requirement for every public college in the State of Georgia (except for UGA and Georgia Tech- as their decisions for admissions have already been made) and will solely use the student's GPA.  It is unclear if this is an "academics-only" average or if it is a cumulative.  The best way for a student to see his or her "academics-only" GPA is to go onto www.gafutures.org to see My HOPE GPA.  I am including a copy of the statement from the USG's proclamation regarding placement testing for college-bound seniors.  THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO CURRENT JUNIORS OR ANYONE YOUNGER.

Also, there is no indication that this decision will have any effect on dual enrollment admissions with the colleges.  When I hear something on that, I will let you all know.
