I've been working my tail off studying for the SAT because Georgetown is my dream school. Anyone know approximately what SAT scores Georgetown typically looks for in their applicants? I just want some goals to shoot for. Thanks in advance!
It's great that you're putting in the effort for your SATs, especially since your dream school is a competitive one like Georgetown University!
Georgetown usually considers students with high SAT scores strong candidates. Based on historical data, a majority of accepted students typically have SAT scores between 1390 and 1530 (for Reading + Math). Note that the scores might have shifted a bit this year due to the test going digital and the removal of the Writing section, but that should stake out the rough upper and lower bounds.
Remember, while scoring within or above this range can certainly boost your chances, it doesn't guarantee acceptance. Georgetown reviews applications holistically, which means your coursework, grades, extracurriculars, letters of recommendation, and supplemental essays are just as critical.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your preparation and application process!
