What are the SAT requirements for Georgia Tech?

Hey, I've been looking into applying to Georgia Tech and wanted to know what their SAT requirements are. Is there a specific minimum score or an average score range for admitted students I should aim for? Thanks in advance for any insight!

Georgia Tech is a competitive university, and while they don't have a specific minimum SAT score requirement, you can get a sense of what score range you should be aiming for by looking at the middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students. This range typically falls around 1370 - 1550.

This statistic means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1370, 25% scored above 1550, and the remaining 50% of students fell within this range. To be a competitive applicant, you should aim for the upper end of this range, or even above a 1550 if possible.

It is worthwhile to note that Georgia Tech takes a holistic approach to evaluating applications, so your SAT score is just one part of the entire application. Other factors such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters will also play a role in the admissions decision. Make sure to focus on these other aspects of your application as well to present your best overall self to the admissions committee.
