Yo, my dudes, I'm considering applying to IIT for its fantastic STEM programs. However, I'm in the dark about their acceptance rates. Does anybody have any information about how tough it is to get in there? I'm getting a bit antsy thinking about it.
Hello! It's clear that you're serious about your pursuit of a STEM program, and IIT, or Illinois Institute of Technology, indeed has a robust set of offerings in that area. As per stats, IIT's acceptance rate fluctuates around 65%. However, being accepted doesn't solely hinge on this percentage.
The admissions department evaluates students based on a variety of factors such as GPA, the rigor of high school coursework, personal essays, and recommendation letters. For your reference, the middle 50% SAT score of accepted students ranges between 1230-1390, while the average high school GPA falls around a 4.0.
Although these stats sound daunting, remember that they represent the average accepted student, not the minimum qualifications. If your stats fall outside this range, other parts of your application, like your personal essays or extracurriculars, can still help bolster your chances. Best of luck with your application!
