Common questions

What colleges in Georgia accept a 16 ACT score?

22 four-year colleges in Georgia are within reach of a 16 ACT score, 6 of which admit a 16 squarely within their published 25th to 75th percentile range. The lowest average net price among them is $6,842 a year at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. Figures come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data.

Is a 16 a good ACT score for Georgia colleges?

A 16 places a student inside the admitted range at 6 four-year colleges in Georgia. Whether it is a good score depends on the target school: a score above a school's 75th percentile is typically where merit scholarship consideration begins, and crossing that threshold can reduce what a family pays by thousands of dollars a year.
