What is a freshman index?• It is a number calculated by combining the high

school grade point average (GPA) with the highest earned SAT or ACT scores. It is used when admitting freshmen into some post-secondary schools.

Your GPA• You GPA is calculated from the grades earned

in the 17 Required High School Curriculum (RHSCRHSC) courses.

Average First time “Freshmen Indexes” for some schools you might recognize…(2008)

• UGA (Go Dawgs!) UGA (Go Dawgs!) 31043104

• Savannah State 2234

• GCSU 2810

• Fort Valley State 2267

• GA TechGA Tech 32293229

• Valdosta State 2528

Calculating a freshman indexfreshman index…

Freshman index = (500 x your GPA) + SAT Critical Reading + SAT Math

OrOr

Freshman index=(500 x your GPA) + (ACT composite score x 42) + 88

Freshman index = (500 x your GPA) + SAT Critical Reading + SAT Math

• Calculate the freshmen index for the following students:

BobbyBobby SAT Reading: 480 SAT Math 420 GPA: 2.5

RavenRaven SAT Reading: 600 SAT Math 300 GPA: 3.5 Could these students become a BULLDOGBULLDOG if they

wanted with the freshman indexes you calculated?

Teachers click on the G below for inspirational music while students work on answers!

Answers:

Bobby’s FI is 2150.

He would NOTNOT be considered at UGA but could get into a smaller university such as Fort Valley or Valdosta. His FI is on the low end for these schools!

Raven’s FI is 2650.

She is below the average FI for freshman at UGA but she is above the minimum FI of 2500.

She will have A LOT of competition for getting one of those freshman BULLDOG BULLDOG slots!
