Hey guys, Gatech is one of my top choice schools and I'm working on my SAT prep. I'm just wondering, what are the average SAT scores for admitted students? Is there a score I should be aiming for to increase my chances of admission?
Gatech, or Georgia Institute of Technology, is quite selective, and while there's no minimum SAT score required for them, they do have average ranges that most of their admitted students tend to fall in.
For example, on the 1600 scale, the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students is typically around 1370-1550. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 1370, while another 25% scored above a 1550.
Although it's worth noting that scoring within or above this range certainly doesn't guarantee admission, aiming for around a 1550 would make you a competitive applicant in terms of test scores.
However, Gatech, like many other colleges, uses holistic admissions. That means the admissions committee considers all aspects of your application, including your coursework, grades, essays, and extracurricular activities, not just your test scores.
Good luck with your SAT prep and the rest of your application! Remember not to stress too much over one single component of your application. Everything you present offers the admissions committee a clearer picture of who you are as a student and an individual.
