I'm curious about how competitive my SAT score is for Georgetown University. What are the typical SAT scores for students who get admitted? Any info would be helpful!
Georgetown University is a highly competitive school, and the admitted students tend to have strong standardized test scores. For the recently admitted class, the middle 50% SAT scores were as follows:
- Composite Score: 1410-1540
- Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 700-770
- Math: 690-790
This means that 50% of the admitted students scored between 700-770 in the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section, 690-790 in the Math section of the SAT, and had composite scores between 1410-1540. Keep in mind that 25% of admitted students scored above these ranges, and 25% scored below them.
While your SAT score is an important factor in the admissions process, Georgetown also considers other components of your application holistically, such as your high school coursework, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. A strong overall application can help counterbalance a lower-than-average SAT score, although having a score within the typical range certainly helps your chances.
