What's the acceptance rate at Georgia Tech University?

Is there anyone who knows about the acceptance rate at Georgia Tech? I've heard it's fairly competitive. I'm trying to figure out if I stand a reasonable chance at getting accepted. Thanks in advance!

Georgia Tech is indeed a quite competitive university, with an acceptance rate of about 16.5%. Depending on how your grades, test scores, and extracurriculars line up with the university's average admitted student profile, you can better gauge your chances. Remember that while important, acceptance rate alone is just a single piece of the puzzle in the admissions process.

Admitted students at Georgia Tech typically have extremely robust academic profiles. They often have high GPAs in rigorous courseloads and impressive SAT or ACT scores. However, the university also highly values leadership and initiative in extracurricular activities. An application will stand out if it demonstrates a well-developed specialty or "spike", showing that the student has achieved a high level of success in a particular field or interest.

Of course, it's critical to keep in mind that the application process is holistic, meaning that the admissions committee reviews all aspects of your profile — not just academic performance. Your essays, recommendation letters, and overall application will be considered in their entirety.

Even if your grades and test scores are lower than the middle 50% for Georgia Tech, it's worth applying if you feel it's a good fit for your academic and personal goals. Reaching out to Georgia Tech's admissions office or attending their informational events could provide you with a clearer picture of what they're looking for in their students. Best of luck with your application!
