OP, are you a GA resident? That will be a significant boost for GA State as well.

But, if you really were PTing at 170 and only scored 160, and want to solidify your chances at GA State, you should retake. As above posters have said, you should have a very good shot if you get even a 163-164

on the georgia state website, it says residency doesn't matter. I wish it did tho.

GA State isn't TTT. It's ranked 60th. And Im not trying to weasel.

I might consider this depending on my job situation

You won't have a job situation if you go to GA state without dollars, partner. You'll be unemployed, swimming in debt, homeless and depressed. Do the smart thing and retake. Study your ass off, do whatever you can, and improve. Five more points gets you a lot of money, if not a full ride.

They say they don't take residency into account, but 90% of the students are GA residents, and looking at borderline applicants on LSN, it seems that GA residents do get a bump. From personal experience, I was OOS, non-URM, but above both medians, and got "held" then rejected.
