Difference in Georgia Tech's in-state and out-of-state acceptance rates?

Hey everyone! I'm currently a high school junior from out-of-state and considering applying to Georgia Tech. I'm curious, though, is there a big difference between in-state and out-of-state acceptance rates?

Hello! Typically, in-state applicants to Georgia Tech have a higher acceptance rate compared to their out-of-state counterparts. While specific acceptance rates for in-state vs out-of-state applicants typically aren't publicly released by Georgia Tech, the in-state acceptance rate is estimated to be in the 30% range, while the out-of-state rate is more in the 10-15% range.

This disparity in acceptance rates can be attributed to a few factors, such as state funding stipulations and a desire to maintain a sizable local student population. It's important to factor these acceptance rates into your application plans, but don't let these numbers discourage you entirely if you're an out-of-state student. Focus on creating the strongest application possible, which showcases your academic strengths, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities, as ultimately those factors matter more than your state of residence.

Also keep in mind that Georgia Tech is a competitive school for all applicants, so having a strong application is also crucial even if you're an in-state applicant. Good luck with your application!
