For those of you applying this year or in the next few years, this is important information for you and parents as well. The USG just released the 2012 dataset for Georgia public colleges and universities. UGA and Georgia Tech both posted their best ever records. UGA and Georgia Tech were tied for average GPA which was a 3.76.

For those of you in high school, if you want to get into these schools it’s important that you start focusing and challenging yourself! UGA and Georgia Tech have both gotten considerably more selective over the past two decades. They’re probably going to continue to become more selective as both schools continue to climb the ranks of top research universities. This is great news for students and Georgians, but it does mean that you all will need to work harder to be the best of the best. This is reflected even on the undergraduate level.

Note that the SAT is a composite of verbal and math - the most crucial sections. The GPA does not reflect that the number of honors and AP courses taken has also gone up at both schools.

UGA 2011 = 1221, 3.71
UGA 2012 = 1238, 3.76

GT 2011 = 1354, 3.76
GT 2012 = 1365, 3.76
