Notes:
  1. This table includes only those freshmen who attempted at least five quarter credit hours by Spring quarter 1998.

  2. The composite score is derived by summing the SAT verbal score and the SAT math score. The possible range for SATV and SATM is 200 to 800; the possible composite score range is 400 to 1600.

  3. Medical College of Georgia admits only a limited number of freshmen, and their data are not included.

  4. The number of freshmen in this table should not be used to determine the size of an institution's entering class for the year. Not included are students with missing data on SAT, such as students with GED's, those admitted into programs that do not require SAT scores, and those who were admitted based on ACT scores. This table uses a revised definition of freshmen and differs from previous years data. This table includes students who were admitted with advanced placement credit.

  5. The Georgia, Nation and USG scores for 1987-95 are recentered on individual scores. Beginning in 1996, University System data were reported on the recentered scale.

    *  The Georgia total includes all 1998 Georgia high school seniors who took the SAT any time during their high school years through March 1998. If a student took the SAT more than once, the most recent score is used.
