ACT updates from UGA Admissions…

ACT Science Section
With the science section of the ACT now optional, students might be curious about its impact on UGA’s admissions process. Rest assured, this change will not affect our process. We will continue to focus on the English and Math subscores of the ACT, which correlate with the SAT subscores we consider. Starting with the 2026 admissions cycle, UGA will calculate the ACT Composite score for freshmen applicants using only the English, Math, and Reading sections, in accordance with ACT’s new scoring method.
