## What SAT and ACT scores do enrolled Georgia Gwinnett College students report?

In its 2025-26 Common Data Set, the university reported a 3.07 reported average high-school GPA for enrolled first-year students. The average comes from the 98.4% who reported a GPA.

That figure is an average, not a cutoff. Enrolled first-year students who submitted SAT scores posted a middle-half range of 860 to 1100; 30% submitted SAT scores.

The ACT middle half for enrolled submitters ran from 16 to 24, with 4% submitting ACT scores. These figures reflect enrolled students who submitted scores, not the full entering class and not a minimum for admission.

Among enrolled first-year students who reported a high-school class rank, 8% placed in the upper tenth and 27% in the upper quarter. Only 11% of the entering class reported a rank, so these shares describe a subset of the cohort.

About these student measures

The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.

51.8% of undergraduates at Georgia Gwinnett College receive Pell Grants. An estimated 34.1% arrive as transfers or part-time students among the 11,344 undergraduates enrolled.

That mix points to a student body where both financial need and prior college experience are common, not a cohort drawn mainly from recent high-school graduates. In its 2025-26 Common Data Set, the university reported 1,669 degree-seeking transfer applicants, admitting 1,530 and enrolling 683.

Applicants who are Pell-eligible or planning to transfer should use the cost calculator to estimate their own price after grants and scholarships. They should also check how prior credits apply toward their intended program.

Among full-time bachelor's-seeking entrants, 63.4% return for a second year and 21.5% finish within six years. Both figures sit below the peer medians of 83.1% and 65.0% for comparable institutions.

Pell recipients in the same cohort complete at 4.9%, 16.6 percentage points below the overall rate.
