Hi everyone! I'm a high school junior from out-of-state and I'm considering applying to Georgia Tech. I was just curious to see if anyone knows the out-of-state acceptance rate? How different is it from the in-state acceptance rate?
Hi there! Georgia Tech is an excellent choice for engineering and technology-focused students. While specific acceptance rates can vary from year to year, generally, the out-of-state acceptance rate tends to be lower than the in-state acceptance rate due to the higher number of applicants and limited spots available for out-of-state students.
In recent years, Georgia Tech's overall acceptance rate has been around 15-20%. However, their out-of-state acceptance rate is typically lower, around 10-15%. In comparison, the in-state acceptance rate has been notably higher, ranging from 35-45%. Keep in mind that these are rough estimates and are not exact numbers.
It's important not to focus solely on acceptance rates when considering any college, including Georgia Tech. Ultimately, you should ensure that the school aligns with your academic and extracurricular interests, as well as your long-term goals. So, if Georgia Tech is a good fit for you, don't be discouraged by the lower out-of-state acceptance rate. Instead, strive to put together a strong application that highlights your strengths, achievements, and passion for your chosen field.
Good luck in the application process!
