SAT requirement returns to some Ga. colleges
Six Georgia public colleges are reinstating the SAT for admissions, according to a report from the University System of Georgia.
Effective with admission for this coming fall, students will be required to take the SAT to attend Abraham Baldwin Agricultural, Coastal Georgia, Dalton State, Gainesville State, Gordon and Macon State colleges.
Those colleges along with 10 others didn’t require the exam under a program implemented in 2005 to increase access at some four-year and all two-year campuses and help students who didn’t take the test because they couldn’t afford it or it made them nervous, system officials said.
The pilot program expires this year and the University System let college presidents decide whether to use the SAT.
The test will not be required at two four-year state colleges – Georgia Gwinnett and Middle Georgia – or at two-year colleges, such as Atlanta Metropolitan and Georgia Perimeter.
