Hey y'all! I'm just wondering what the average ACT score for UGA incoming freshmen is. I really have high hopes for getting into UGA, but I'm not very confident about my ACT scores. Could definitely use some guidance. Thanks!
The University of Georgia (UGA) usually enrolls students who've scored impressively well on their standardized tests. For the ACT particularly, incoming freshmen for UGA usually have an average composite score range between 27 and 32. Please note that these are middle 50% score ranges, so 25% of students scored below a 27 and 25% scored above a 32.
Now, it's important to keep in mind that while your ACT scores are an important aspect of your application, UGA, like many universities, uses a comprehensive or holistic review process when evaluating applicants. This means they're interested not only in your test scores but also your high school grades, rigor of your high school curriculum, personal essays, extracurricular activities, and letters of recommendation. So even if your ACT score falls slightly below this range, it doesn't rule out your chances of acceptance if other parts of your application are strong.
Don't forget to prepare thoroughly ahead of your retakes if you decide to improve your ACT scores. Use reputable test prep resources and make a study schedule that works best for you. Best of luck! You've got this!
