To competitive for admission, a student must meet or exceed the minimum GPA requirements for admission.

Based on the US 4.0 GPA system, the minimum GPA requirement for most majors is 2.7 for Georgia residents, 3.0 for non-Georgia US residents, and 3.5 for international students. Because admission to Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science is highly competitive, applicants to these programs must have a GPA of at least 3.0 for Georgia residents, 3.5 for non-Georgia US residents, and 3.8 for international students. The GPA requirement applies to both the overall GPA (all courses taken at all schools) and the GPA of an applicant's math and science courses. Further, all applicants must be in good standing during the last term of enrollment at their prior institutions
