University of Georgia SAT scores: what's expected?

Fellow future students, I'm trying to figure out if I have a shot at the University of Georgia. SAT scores seem to be a major component they consider. Just wondering how stiff the competition is when it comes to SAT scores for this uni? Appreciate the help!

Sure thing, happy to shed some light on your question. The University of Georgia, like many other universities, utilizes a variety of factors including academic performance, extracurricular involvement, and standardized test scores to evaluate applicants. Though they use a holistic review process, standardized test scores do significantly contribute to their review.

According to recent data, the middle 50% range for the SAT score of admitted students at UGA is roughly 1230 to 1410. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 1230, and another 25% score above 1410. If you are within this range or above, you are considered competitive in terms of SAT score. However, remember that achieving these scores doesn't guarantee admission, as UGA also considers other factors such as your high school GPA, the rigor of your high school course load, your activities outside the classroom, and personal essays.

I should also note that if you have a score just below the range, don't be discouraged. Remember that it's a holistic process and other parts of your application may make you a strong candidate. Good luck with your application!
