Common Questions (and Answers) While UGA is Closed - UGA Undergraduate Admissions

Common Questions (and Answers) While UGA is Closed - UGA Undergraduate Admissions Common Questions (and Answers) While UGA is Closed UGA will be closed from late afternoon on December 24 through January 3, and as such, we will not be available to answer many questions. Like many of you, I will also be unavailable at times during the break, so here are a few common questions and answers to hold you over during the time we are closed. Please be patient with me if you post any comments! Deadlines and Materials I have had several questions about when application materials need to be in, what happens if they are not in, etc. UGA Admissions works hard to complete a students file, and we will work with students if things come in a little late. For paper documents, our deadlines are postmark deadlines, and we will keep the online school forms open after the deadline. This does not mean that a student should do things after the deadline though! Make sure you speak with your counselor and teacher early about getting in materials, and give them time to do their work! And if you choose to apply on the deadline, please understand that we will take you application, but you are setting yourself up to possibly have problems by not giving yourself any leeway with required materials. Do yourself a favor and take care of things before the deadline! Mailed materials My estimate is that from a person mailing out documents to it showing up in the system takes at least 6-8 business days, give or take (if your application is already in the system). If a counselor or teacher sent documents off on a Monday lets say, then 8 business days means Wednesday of the following week. Please also remember that UGA will be closed down from late afternoon on Friday, 12/24, until the morning of Jan. 4, so be patient with us during that span, as we will not be in the office or updating the myStatus page during that gap. Please remember that our deadlines are postmarked deadlines, so there is no reason to send something FedEx, UPS rush, two day postal delivery, etc., and at times these special deliveries can slow things down as they get held up due to non-delivery on weekends, routing things a non-traditional way, etc. Stick with online delivery (still the best by far!) or standard post office mailing. January SAT exam The last test score date UGA will be able to use is the Jan. 22 SAT. The Feb. ACT is too late, especially since it takes longer for ACT to get the scores back than SAT (which usually gets us scores in under three weeks). First Semester Grades Applicants are not required to send in first semester grades, but we do like to see them when reviewing a student’s file, so I would suggest having an updated transcript sent in to UGA. We will be accepting first semester grades through Feb. 1, but I would suggest having your school send them in as soon as possible after they are ready. Accepted EA applicants do not need to send in first semester grades unless requested to by Honors or the Foundation Fellows/Ramsey Scholarship Program. Scholarships: UGA will be making scholarship decisions (along with out-of-state waivers) from mid-December through mid-April as we review files and finish receiving applications. In December, we will have awarded a small number of scholarships, but we are a long way from completing the process. Honors: Honors needs time to review the admitted students, so please be patient with them during their review of admitted students. Only Honors would know when they will be releasing decisions, the criteria they use for review, etc.

What I Learned When I Retook the ACT and SAT

What Stood Out in General? My blog posts usually focus on the content of the ACT and SAT: what information is on the tests, how to think strategically about taking the tests, and how to maximize your score. This month, I decided to take a step back from the details and look at the bigger picture, so I sat down and took practice ACT and SAT tests, back to back. I realized a lot more about the two tests in this marathon session, and now I have some ideas for you. This blog might be helpful for you if you seemed to have a reached an impasse at improving your practice test scores or if you’re looking to take a quick break from content in your test prep. What Stood Out in General? There is a lot of content covered on the two tests. English, Math, Reading, and Science for the ACT, and Reading, Writing Language, and Math for the SAT. Yet, some patterns about the test emerged. It was hard to keep track of my time Especially when I just had a watch. The sections started at strange times, and the length of the sections are irregular. It could easily take a couple valuable seconds every time you want to calculate how much time you have left. How can we fix this? Either know when halfway will be and aim for that. Or, take a bunch of practice tests and get a feeling for how fast you need to go in all of the sections and stick to that pace. Once you get a good feeling for the pace, you don’t have to stress out about time. It is easy to overlook what the questions is actually asking. It sounds silly not to know what the question is asking, but the test makers have laid some traps. For instance, words like except and not are easy to skim past. It is also easy to breeze past long questions. Some questions can be several lines long. It is easy to forget to give them your full attention, make a guess as to what they are asking, and go straight to the answer choices. What to do here? Yes, you have to keep moving on the test, but spending so little time that you haven’t understood the question will be detrimental to your score. Don’t skim the questions, and don’t assume that you know what questions are asking. You probably won’t have time to proof all of your work. Make a system so that you can prioritize what you want to check. Make circles or checkmarks for what to come back to, if you have time. Also, keep your scratch work organized in the math section so that you can quickly pick up where you left off. It is easy to get your answers out of sequence. Once you get out of order, it can take a lot of time to find where you went wrong, correct the mistake, and clearly erase all of your answers. Take half a second to check your numbering before you mark your answers. Try not to be swayed by early answer choices. Tempting wrong answers are sprinkled throughout the exam. It’s often worth your time to skim the remaining answers to make sure that you haven’t overlooked the right answer. This test is long, and it can be hard to keep your focus. Distractions will abound. You might be thinking about a problem from the last section, other test takers will be writing and erasing, and the clock will be ticking. It’s also hard to focus hard for four hours. When we read, our minds often wander for bits at a time. If you let your mind wander on the test, you’ve either missed a big section of material or you have to go back and spend precious time rereading. What to do here? I don’t have any tips except practicing. It is important to take practice tests not one section at a time but instead as a whole exam, so that you can train yourself. The practice tests are not only to see what you should study—they are also like exercises for training yourself to be able to concentrate for such a long time. If you have lost your focus, or gotten nervous, or become tired, or realized that you were spacing out, don’t waste time worrying about it. You need a way to leave whatever happened behind and quickly reset so that you can move on with the test. How should you move on? In some sections, you can make a clean break and move on to the next question. In other sections, it’s easier to go back to the point that you were last paying attention and pick your work back up. What Did You See About the Individual Sections? I have much longer blog posts about the different SAT and ACT sections. Feel free to check out those posts for more info on content and answering questions. I did make a few new observations, which I have included below. English In the English sections on both tests, it is very tempting to skip the portions of the text that doesn’t have any particular questions about them. However, there is often information in these sections that you need to answer the questions. For instance, sometimes words or phrases are repeated and therefore unnecessary, but you only know if you have read the entire passage. Second, pay attention to the questions. Some questions give you big clues about the right answer. They ask something like, which answer shows how important the character is or how dangerous the situation was. Pay attention that you are answering what the question is asking, not just choosing the answer that you think would make the best addition to the text. Third, the English section often has questions where two answers start with yes and two answers start with no, with different explanations. I think it’s easier just to go by which explanation makes the most sense, rather than first trying to pick between yes and no. Math In the math section, there are some ways to make life simpler. Some problems include both graphs and equations. Choose which will lead you to the answer faster. In other instances, you can scan the answer choices before you simplify. Do you need to simplify the radical or not? Take a quick look at the answers before you do unnecessary math. Some math problems are not over once you arrive at a solution. This rule is especially true for quadratic equations—make sure both answers work. If you have an equation, check the signs! It is easy to misread a + for a -. If you’re really stuck, try writing down what you know or simplifying what you have. If you’re really lost, you can always work backward and plug in answers. The math section can be hard, but luckily most questions stand alone. If you’re feeling stumped or stressed, you can reset on the next problem. Some problems don’t require any calculations, so skip to a question that just needs some thinking. Reading Reading is hard because you have to keep your focus up for 10 minutes at a time. You have to train to be able to concentrate on reading for that long. Be sure to read any information at the top of the passage—it often tells you who the author is and what the passage will be about. These few lines can get you off on the right foot. The passages have different subjects, like natural science, social studies, and fiction. If there’s one genre that you’re best in, you can always start there. When you read the passage, it helps if you can mark it up in a way to help you find answers quickly. Try underlining and circling to give you the best chance of locating answers to the questions. Remember that you can always skip the questions that you don’t know—the rest of the questions for the passage can often help you work out the details of the passage. What to do Next? Take your own practice test and keep these tips in mind!

The Freedom And Freedom Of Expression - 1355 Words

What drives immigrants to endure the perilous journey to the United States is precious freedom, and the chance of living the American dream. More commonly parents bring their children in hope for a greater standard of life. Undoubtedly there are better education opportunities that correspond directly to better job opportunities. In other cases immigrants are seeking asylum from war-torn countries just trying to escape death by any means necessary. Extreme poverty is an epidemic in foreign countries and unfortunately those residing poverty are forced to accept life, or strive for a new one. Foreign medical institutions may not be capable to treat illnesses whereas in the United States, advanced medical technology is in abundance.†¦show more content†¦Another misconception is that illegal immigrants are all criminals that should be deported to ensure the safety of all citizens. While being unauthorized is technically a crime itself, out of 11 million unauthorized immigrants 8 20,000 have been convicted of a crime and 300,000 have been convicted of a felony (Yee, Davis, Patel). Simplification of the whole path needs to be worked out in order to grant permanent status to applicants in an expedited manner. Opposed to filing multiple times for one end goal, a packet containing all necessary documents should be filed initially and grant temporary residency. Once the initial packed is submitted and reviewed a second packed could be submitted showing work history, tax statements, and a final background check before granting citizenship. A two packet process would designate a specific department employees to overlook applications on a case by case basis based on the application status. Two different departments specified for one part of the application would allow for a smoother and more efficient processing. Dividing an agency that is located throughout the United states seems impossible on the contrary, designating two departments in each location is as simple as training two different types of workers for a different â€Å"product†.

Global Warming and Human Influence - 2139 Words

Global Warming and Human Influence Global warming can be defined as; â€Å"An increase in the earth’s atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution† (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, 2008). According to University of Phoenix Global Warming (2008), the data accumulated from daily measurements indicate that the Earth’s average surface temperature in 2005 was the third highest since the mid-1800s. Apparently the last two decades of the 20th century were its warmest. Humans have mostly contributed to the cause of global warming. Burning carbon-containg fossil fuels accounts for most human-made CO2. Land conversion, like when tropical forests are†¦show more content†¦One potential new way of helping fight global warming is by trapping carbon dioxide. Carbon capture and storage will be a vital new technology in reducing carbon emissions around the world. (Knowles, 2008, para. 3) They say that ‘carbon capture’ covers a range of chemical biological and geological technologies designed to trap carbon dioxide from large, concentrated sources such as power stations, in order to reduce the carbon emissions that cause global warming. In the future, if efforts to reduce carbon dioxide do not move fast enough to avoid the risk of dangerous climate change, they say it may be necessary to remove CO2 from mobile sources and even the air itself (Knowles, 2008). Hilary Benn, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, explains that carbon capture and storage is currently the only technology that can reduce carbon emissions from the burning fossil fuels (Knowles, 2008). Some geological options for storing CO2 were mentioned, such as empty oil wells, mineral formations or unmineable coal deposits (Knowles, 2008). Scientists are also saying that in order for us to avoid the worst impacts of global warming; we have to reduce global warming pollution by 80% by 2050.

The Church Mission A Theology Of Mission - 839 Words

The church mission began with the love of God for the people. According to John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. God sent his Son out to the world to reconcile the people back to him. The key to theology of mission is man relationship to God and obedience to his will. According to global ministries, Mission is the story of God’s dealing with the world. It is the heart of Scripture, church history, doctrine, preaching and worship, ethics, and counseling. In this paper, the writer will introduce a theology of Mission as it relates to the congregation where the writer serve. The writer desire to spend time in the community where she serve as an associate pastor, this concept does not bother the constituents because they do not share the same feelings about going into the community and witness, pray and search out and fill the need of the community/members who has not attended church service in awhile. The writer and the other associate pastor and the pastor s time are not taken away from the constituents because the church need is taken care of first, however, to tend to the need of the community, the church must go outward if not on foot, at least through a letter of thoughtfulness.
