When evaluating your application for first-year admission, we are very interested in understanding how you stretched and challenged yourself relative to the curriculum that was available at your school. Georgia Tech is looking for students who demonstrate intellectual curiosity and aren’t afraid of a challenge!
You should demonstrate success in the most rigorous curriculum available at your high school, which might include, but is not limited to:
The University System of Georgia (USG) requires minimum academic courses of all first-time students graduating from high school within a U.S. system of education, though most applicants exceed these in at least one area. Students graduating from a high school outside of the U.S. system of education must complete a high school curriculum deemed equivalent to a U.S. required high school curriculum by USG institutions and/or NACES-approved credential evaluator.
USG requirements include:
The GPA we consider is the one taken directly from your high school transcript. We will use a 100-point GPA, if available, and weighted, if available. If not, we’re happy to consider a 4.0 GPA or similar and/or unweighted GPA.
If your high school does not provide a GPA, we will recalculate a weighted 4.0 GPA using core courses only. Our recalculation includes 0.5 points added for AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, AS & A Levels.
Don’t worry! Many high schoolers have this experience. We will recalculate a weighted 4.0 GPA (Our recalculation includes 0.5 points added for AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, AS & A Levels) using core courses only.
To help us better understand your high school and its curriculum, your counselor will submit a School Report form and/or School Profile with your transcript.
We are experienced in reviewing transcripts from all around the world. Students attending high school outside the United States can learn more about how we will review your school records here.
Students who have taken dual enrollment courses should ensure those courses are listed on their high school transcript, self-report their dual enrollment work through their application, or request the college attended to send your transcript to us directly.
The Office of Undergraduate Admission only reviews course work to determine if a student is academically prepared and a good fit for Georgia Tech.
Students who are admitted and enroll will be required to submit an official transcript directly from their dual enrollment college to be considered for any dual enrollment transfer credit.
To determine transferable credit, learn more about AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, A-Level, Credit by Exam and more here.
We encourage your school counselor to submit supporting documents electronically, if possible. Additionally, you may upload an unofficial high school transcript via your admission portal after application submission. If you are admitted and choose to enroll at Georgia Tech you will be required to submit an official, final high school transcript.
