If you are a UGA freshman, have a 31 on your ACT, 1340 on your SAT, and only completed 7 AP/dualenrollment/internationalbaccalaureate classes, then half of your freshman class are better than you.
The truth is that most of the high school population isn't looking to do the work to get into UGA (other schools are dropping the SAT/ACT requirement. Other schools are not requiring essays with admissions). A 1280 SAT with 5 APs is looking at Georgia State or Kennesaw State. I know. I have a freshman at KSU who regrets not getting his application in to UGA.
A ton of students are looking at UNG with the option to transfer in later.

That isn’t necessarily true. A median is the middle number when you arrange a column smallest to largest. So if you had five freshman whose ACT scores were 31, 31, 33, 25, 18 then the median would be 31.
If the number of AP classes taken were 0, 2, 14, 14, and 7 the the median number of AP classes would be 7.
That doesn’t mean that the median student has a 31 and took 7 AP classes. The two things are graphed independently.
Common sense would suggest that the acceptee with a low ACT would have to do other things to boost his application like have a high GPA and take advanced courses. While the hypothetical applicant with a 33 who applies himself and does the extracurriculars in high school will go somewhere better than UGA.

The real answer as to which school is better is: the school that is right for you individually. Both schools provide good education and are very close in the areas being discussed.
