Athens State’s price point is the main strategic signal: at $7,680 in-state and $15,360 out-of-state, affordability may matter as much as selectivity here. Since the data does not point to a clear SAT or ACT target, focus first on meeting admission requirements, then use scores only where a program or scholarship specifically asks for them.
