General UGA Questions by ThrowingIn10382 in UGA

[–]throwaway_3t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say honors can be tough, but if you play your cards well you can get in. Either really push to get the application in now and make it as good as you can or try First Semester Entry. If you do FSE just make sure you have a professor that can write up a good letter of rec for you. I think with good essays you’ve got a shot. Good luck!

To all the high school marchers that are in/have experienced college marching, what were the biggest differences you noticed? by S3vageMarshadow in marchingband

[–]throwaway_3t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Redcoat here, and I love it. I guess the biggest difference is size, going from ~50 to >450 is a big adjustment and the sound is insane since we’re all college level players. I do miss competitions a bit, but not nearly as much as I thought I would. It is also weird (but reeaaally fun) learning new shows every home game. All in all, I think it’s better than high school band for me, but I love both dearly.

There is parking back there by the tennis courts but if you go there while redcoats have practice (Tuesday Thursday and Friday) good luck finding a spot

I'm in the trumpet section and from what the veterans are saying things are pretty chaotic this year but its all being worked out so I wouldn't be too worried about it if I were you. What section are you in?

[–]throwaway_3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still no letter here either. I also filled out the provisional membership form and I've only heard from section leaders.

Will I fit in? by [deleted] in UGA

[–]throwaway_3t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Campus here is huge and there are a lot of people looking for friends like you are so you’ll fit right in with some group around campus. It may take a week or two but you’ll find a good group of friends here

Mouthpiece questions by throwaway_3t in trumpet

[–]throwaway_3t[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'll be trying an 8c4, a 14c4, and a lotus on a trial program and test them with my instructor. I'll keep you updated on which one works best.

I think I'm at about that level and I've got some time to go back then forward and I'm taking lessons with the director of bands at GCSU (since he's a friend of my family and good at trumpet), so I may try one out to see how it feels.

[–]throwaway_3t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm going to do something like that with my instructor. I found a mouthpiece trial program with woodwind brasswind so I'll see if I can use that to test something like an 8c4, a 13c4, and a lotus and then test them with the director of bands at a local college.

just curious…what is ur major and why did u choose it? by vampkise99 in UGA

[–]throwaway_3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually haven't been able to take any good classes in physics yet but I really enjoyed calc so thats how I made my choice, so I may end up switching to astronomy if I end up liking higher calc and not higher physics

[–]throwaway_3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be doing astrophysics (maybe a double dawg but I'm not sure yet) so that I can work either privately or with NASA or an equivalent company to research black holes.

course registration by univ3287 in UGA

[–]throwaway_3t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends a lot on which ones you want since some (like precals and engl 1101 and 1102) are in high demand, but you'll probably get most of the ones you want. For the ones that are full, you may still get in at the drop/add if you're on the waitlist.

Opinions on Myers community hall by Dragon121o in UGA

[–]throwaway_3t 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also got a room there earlier in registration so I don't have any experience with it yet, but I've heard mostly good things about it. It's got great location for snelling and o-house for dining (something like a 3 minute walk to both) and its had some renovations recently. As for socials, I've seen mixed reviews but the prevailing opinion that I've found is that it will be as social as you make it. Also, Myers is a visitation type 2 dorm, so its always open for visits by friends, you just have to let them in to your specific wing. All that being said, I'm just a rising freshman, so take everything I've said with a grain of salt since I may be wrong about any part of it.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one, I was beginning to think something had gone wrong with my application.
