Hey guys, I've been looking into Georgia Tech and I love it! I'm trying to get a sense of the SAT score I should be aiming for. Has anyone here applied and could shed some light? I appreciate it!
Georgia Tech is highly competitive, and the admitted students tend to have strong academic profiles. While they do emphasize a holistic approach in their admission process, test scores are part of the consideration. As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Georgia Tech does factor in standardized test scores in their admissions process, and high scores can certainly enhance your application.
For the middle 50% of admitted students, SAT scores range approximately from 1330 to 1510 out of a maximum of 1600. This means that 25% of students score below 1330, and another 25% score above 1510. So, if you're aiming for Georgia Tech, it would be good to aim for a score in this range or higher to align with the profiles of admitted students.
However, keep in mind that SAT scores are only part of your application. Georgia Tech also looks at your high school GPA, coursework rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. The importance of standardized test scores can vary from year to year and applicant to applicant.
While aiming for a high score is beneficial, remember to also spend time on the other elements of your application. Good luck with your college application journey!
