Hey everyone! I'm really interested in Georgia Tech as one of my top choices for college. I was just wondering if anyone knows the acceptance rate for GA Tech? Is it super competitive?
Hey! Georgia Tech is indeed a competitive school, and it has become more selective in recent years. Lately, the acceptance rate has been around 15-20%. It's important to note that acceptance rates can vary from year to year, though, and may be different for in-state vs. out-of-state applicants. As a top engineering and technology-focused institution, Georgia Tech is particularly competitive in its engineering, computer science, and business programs, and may have an acceptance rate in the single digits for those particular programs.
However, the acceptance rate shouldn't discourage you from applying if you're passionate about attending this institution. Just make sure to present the strongest application possible by showcasing your academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and personal characteristics through your transcript, extracurricular list, and so on. In particular, Georgia Tech's school-specific supplemental essays can be a great way of showing your personal fit for this selective institution - you can read more about how to tackle them on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-georgia-tech-essays.
Good luck with your application process!
