Is there a way to upload a pre-taken picture for the UGA onecard? I saw that other people managed to do it, as the website right now currently forces you to take a live photo, but I would like to use one that I already took.

Are you supposed to take a picture of a picture or is there some other way I dont know about? Right now it forces me to take it live with my camera

Letters of Recommendation

Two science teachers, first one i had for multiple subjects, she knew me well, other one was the chemistry teacher, she was happy to write it but probably used ChatGpt or something ngl.

Essays

Didnt like it much but did not spend too much time worrying about it. Wrote it on Elderly volunteering and how it makes me appreciate others and how its my duty to help and support the less fortunate.

Decisions (indicate ED/EA/REA/SCEA/RD)

Acceptances:

• Tennessee - Accepted EA
• UNC Chapel - Accepted EA
• Georgia Tech - Deferred -> Accepted for BME (apparently its #1 ranked for Biomed? wtf)
• Alabama - Accepted
• SCar- Accepted + Honors
• Mercer/KSU/Ga Southern- Accepted
• UGA - Accepted + Honors and ENROLLED! 🐾🐾🐾

Rejections:

• Emory - Rejected
• John Hopkins - Rejected
• Vanderbilt - Rejected

Additional Information:

Likely wanted to stay in state and glad I am able to! SCar/UNC were pretty appealing, but UGA made more sense. Not really sure what career I want to pursue, but UGA is huge and there are a ton of majors so I can always bounce around. I think my ACT + GPA carried.

Before this I was a little worried when hearing about other peoples extracurriculars, I applied to so many leadership things and didnt get a single one, but it ended up not mattering! Hopefully you all reading this feel a little better about their extracurriculars/awards 😄

incoming student next year and I was wondering, where do people usually gather to watch sports games such as Nfl on Sunday and primetime football/basketball games?

obviously there are bars and stuff but I'm talking more on a casual sense, what do people usually do to watch with their friends?

also a side thing, on Saturdays do people usually watch other CFB games as well? I enjoy watching the other ranked matchups and I was wondering how it worked, especially on Saturdays where Tech plays an away game, if anyone can give me a brief overview of how it's like :)

I saw it trending on twitter and people were making jokes about people who work there, something about employee misconduct? Seems like I'm missing something, what happened and why is it such a big deal?

Heres an example of one of the jokes ^
