Hey everyone, I'm hoping to apply to Georgia Tech in the future. Can someone tell me what the SAT requirements are for admission? What score should I aim for to maximize my chances of getting in?
Sure! Georgia Tech is a highly competitive school, and while they don't have a strict minimum SAT score requirement, it's important to have a strong score in order to stay competitive in the applicant pool. For the middle 50% of admitted students in the past, the SAT score range was around 1330-1510 out of 1600, with the 25th percentile being around 1330 and the 75th percentile being around 1510.
To maximize your chances of admission, it's ideal to aim for a score above the 75th percentile -- so anything above 1510. However, having a score in the upper half of the middle 50% range (around 1440-1510) should still make you competitive. Remember, though, that Georgia Tech looks at applications holistically, meaning that your SAT score is just one component of your application. Strong extracurricular activities, high GPA, and compelling essays will also play crucial roles in the admissions process.
Also, keep in mind that the range can change each year as the pool of applicants varies, so it's a good idea to check the most recent information on Georgia Tech's admissions website. Good luck, and I hope you achieve your goal of getting into Georgia Tech!
