What SAT and ACT scores do Georgia College & State University students report?
Submitted test scores offer a useful picture of the academic range among enrolled students at Georgia College & State University, but they are not admission minimums. Applicants can use the university's own SAT range of 1,070 to 1,230 and ACT range of 22 to 26 as context for recent enrolled score submitters.
Those spans cover the middle half of submitted scores, from the lower to upper quarter of each distribution. They describe enrolled students who chose to submit scores, not every member of the entering class.

About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Georgia College & State University enrolls an undergraduate body that includes Pell Grant recipients and a smaller transfer-in component. 17.6% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants, and an estimated 10.5% enter after beginning coursework elsewhere.
The university has 5,947 undergraduates, so these measures describe a largely direct-entry population with federal grant recipients and transfer students both present. That composition describes who attends rather than admission priorities or any individual applicant’s prospects.
The first-year retention rate for full-time bachelor's-seeking entrants is 82.3%, above the peer median of 73.7% for comparable institutions. The six-year graduation rate for the first-time full-time cohort is 63.6%, also above the peer median of 49.1%.
Pell Grant recipients in that cohort complete at 57.7%, which is 5.9 percentage points below the overall rate. An enrolled student can expect a university where most classmates return for a second year and a majority finish within six.
