Georgia College will utilize the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) and Math scores from the SAT, the English and Math scores from the ACT and scores from the Classic Learning Test (CLT). Georgia College will review the timed writing samples from these tests as part of the student's overall portfolio, but they are not required for review. We do not have a preference between the ACT, SAT or CLT.
Superscoring: Georgia College does utilize superscoring for SAT and ACT. Multiple scores of the same administration type can and will be superscored. Georgia College will look at multiple test dates that a student has taken and combine the highest scores in each section from across the different test dates to give a "Super Score" that may be higher than any individual score received. *Georgia College DOES NOT combine scores from the ACT and the SAT in a single superscore. .
University System of Georgia test score minimums: Students are considered for admission based on a holistic process that examines their entire portfolio. Georgia College's averages are well above the established minimums. Meeting the minimums DOES NOT guarantee admission to GCSU. The minimums are:
| SAT | ACT |
|---|---|
| Math: 440 section | Math: 17 |
| Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 480 section | English: 17 |

Self-Reported Scores
Self-reported test scores are manually input into your college application via your GCSU admissions portal or the Common Application. This function is intended to expedite the process of completing your Georgia College & State University application and it should only be used if you have already taken the SAT, ACT or CLT.
Self-reported scores should be an accurate reflection of your previous SAT, ACT or CLT scores; you should not report anticipated future SAT, ACT or CLT scores, nor should you report PSAT scores.
You have two avenues to self-report your standardized test scores:
- Self-reported scores listed in the Common Application testing section
- Self-reported Score Form, which can be found in your admission portal after you have submitted your application
If you are admitted using self-reported scores and choose to enroll at Georgia College & State University, you must submit your official score report by April 1. Discrepancies between your official score report and your self-reported scores may result in your admissions offer being rescinded.
