Hey everyone, I'm really interested in applying to Georgia Tech. Does anyone know about acceptance rate trends for Georgia Tech? Also, has anything significant changed about their admissions process in recent years? Thanks in advance!
Hey! Georgia Tech is a fantastic school, and it's great that you're considering applying. As for acceptance rate trends, over the past few years, there has been an increase in the number of applicants, which has led to a decline in the overall acceptance rate. For context, in 2017, the acceptance rate was around 25%, and it has steadily decreased, reaching around 17% for the class of 2025. This trend is not unusual among top-tier schools, as they tend to receive an increasing number of applications each year.
In terms of significant changes to their admissions process, Georgia Tech, along with many other colleges, decided to go test-optional in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, while many schools have extended their test-optional policies, Georgia Tech has returned to requiring students to submit either the SAT or ACT, so make sure to factor study time into your schedule as you plan out your college applications process.
Best of luck in the admissions process!
