What is the SAT score required to get into Georgetown University?

There's no single SAT score that guarantees admission to Georgetown University. Georgetown is a highly selective university, and admission depends on a holistic review of your application, including your:

* Academic record: GPA, course rigor (AP, IB, etc.)

* Standardized test scores: While Georgetown is test-optional, submitting strong scores can significantly strengthen your application. If submitted, a high score is beneficial.

* Extracurricular activities: Demonstrated leadership, commitment, and impact.

* Essays: Well-written and insightful essays showcasing your personality and goals.

* Letters of recommendation: Strong recommendations from teachers and counselors.

While Georgetown doesn't publish a minimum SAT score, successful applicants generally have scores well above the average. The average SAT score of admitted students is typically in the 1450-1550 range (out of 1600), but remember this is an *average*, and many successful applicants score higher, while some may have lower scores but excel in other areas.

Because Georgetown is test-optional, many successful applicants don't submit SAT scores at all. Therefore, focusing on the other aspects of your application is just as – if not more – important than achieving a high SAT score.
