Questions about the Aerospace Engineering program at Georgia Tech

So, I've been really into designing rockets since my middle school STEM club days and I know Georgia Tech is ranked for its Aerospace Engineering. Could anyone share the acceptance rate for this program? Just a tiny bit stressed about applying.

As far as I know, Georgia Tech doesn't provide acceptance rates specifically for its Aerospace Engineering program. Typically, universities don't disclose acceptance rates for individual majors or programs so it's difficult to measure the exact competitiveness of the Aerospace Engineering program on its own. But it's safe to say that it could be quite competitive as Georgia Tech itself has an overall acceptance rate of about 16% (as of Fall 2023).

However, at Georgia Tech, all Engineering students are initially admitted to a general engineering curriculum for their first year. After their first year, students can declare their major (Aerospace Engineering, in your case). This is to allow you time to explore your interests in different Engineering fields before finalizing your decision.

As such, you should review Georgia Tech's general admission criteria, which include academic rigor, grades, test scores, essays, and extracurricular activities rather than assets explicitly applicable to Aerospace Engineering. I hope this information helps ease a bit of your stress. Keep in mind that every applicant is unique and a rejection from Georgia Tech is in no way a direct reflection of your potential success in Aerospace Engineering! Good luck.
