  1. Distance Calculus Program Overview

  2. Minimum Requirements vs. Competitive Admission Minimum Requirements: • 3.5 overall GPA (GT recalculated scale) • 3.5 math GPA (GT recalculated scale) • 600+ on the SAT math section • 4+ on AP Calculus AB exam or3+ on AP Calculus BC exam Admitted Averages for Fall 2012 Class: • GPA: 4.1 (Overall and Math-only) • SAT: 2192 • 92% took AP Calculus BC exam. • Average Score: 4.9 • AB Average Score: 5

  3. Timeline for Admission Process

  4. Admission Process Notes on Testing In order to ensure that scores arrive at Georgia Tech before the July 15 deadline… SAT: The latest test date that can be accepted for admission to the Distance Calculus Program is June 1. If a student takes the June 1 SAT, he/she must list Georgia Tech as a recipient school when registering for the test. ACT: The latest test date that can be accepted for admission to the Distance Calculus Program is April 13. If a student takes the June 8 ACT, it is very unlikely that scores will be available by July 15. Also, please note that Georgia Tech requires a writing section score. This can come from either the SAT or ACT. If a student chooses to take the ACT without the writing section, they will still need to submit a writing score from either the SAT or a previous ACT test. AP: Students must list Georgia Tech as a test score recipient on the day of the exam.
