<p>according to official Georgia Tech Facebook question&anwser section, they only require English, Math and English&Math score and ignores other(or dont care)</p>

<p>their actual quote is </p>

<p>===================================================================
Georgia Tech Office of Undergraduate Admission
Just to clarify our score policy here at Georgia Tech - we do super-score your SAT or ACT score for admission purposes. For the SAT, we look at all 3 sections of the exam. For the ACT, we look at your scores in the Math, English, and English/Writing combined sections ONLY. We do not consider the ACT Reading or Science scores when making an admission decision. We do require a writing score from either the SAT or ACT exam in order to make an admission decision. </p>

<p>At Georgia Tech we super-score across test types and across test dates. This means that if you have a higher math score on the SAT, but a higher English and writing score on the ACT, we will combine your math SAT with your English and writing ACT scores to give you your super-score for admission purposes. If you only take the ACT exam, we will take your highest scores from any ACT test date. </p>

<p>We do not penalize you for the number of times you have taken the test, and we do not average your test scores at any point. For more information on our score choice policy, please visit <a href="http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf&lt;/a>. </p>

<p>Please plan to send any and all standardized test scores to Georgia Tech, as we will always update your record with your highest section scores. We must receive test scores directly from the testing agency for admission.</p>

<h1>the quote is about year old but ones that are in this year also says the same thing.</h1>

<p>my ACT score is
English - 31
Math - 35
Reading- 26
Science - 28
and writing score yet to come since this is June 11th test.</p>

<p>this gives me 30 composite score.</p>

<p>if they are true, assuming i got descent writing score, i will get 32-33</p>

<p>which is in top 25% of score range that they suggest in their School Website and that makes me a very happy camper :)</p>

<p>So ill be very thankful to anyone who actually is in GT or who knows this matter for sure verify this fact for me.</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>ps.oh and i think i saw some post that says that they use ACT-SAT converting chart to determine where i am.</p>

<p>anyone knows how that works or knows actual chart for conversion?</p>

<p>I am a rising senior who is familiar with GT admissions, knowing many people who got admitted to GT and what I can say is that the above statement you posted is correct. Just take both tests and they will take the act and convert to sat and give you the higher, however, I wouldn’t take more than 3 times. Use this chart for conversion: <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/act-sat-concordance-tables.pdf[/url]”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/act-sat-concordance-tables.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
Good luck for Tech and 1 last thing. If you are in state, try to get a 1950 (2000)+, if out of state, 2050 (2100)+</p>

<p>so the composite score said in your link is English+Math without writing in count?</p>

<p>English+Math converted score with English+Writing added to it?</p>

<p>GTech does conversions of ACT to SAT. It converts ACT math to SAT math, ACT English (not reading) to SAT critical reading, and ACT writing/English combined score to SAT writing. It also does, as it says, superscore by intermixing highest SAT and ACT section scores if you send both tests. The resulting converted scores are what are used to detemrine admission. ACT reading, science and composite are thus ignored. You should note that Rose-Hulman does the same thing (although it does not yet use the writing section of either test for admission). Both colleges have been doing that for many years.</p>
