I'm building my college list and aiming for schools with selectivity like Georgia Tech. Can anyone recommend colleges with comparable acceptance rates?
Hello! Building a college list that aligns with your target schools' selectivity is a smart idea. For institutions with acceptance rates similar to Georgia Tech, which has been around 20-25% in recent years, you might want to consider schools like the University of Michigan, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of California, Berkeley. These schools are competitive, especially in STEM fields similar to Georgia Tech.
Be sure to look beyond just acceptance rates, though. Each school has its unique culture, specialties, and student life. Visiting campuses, if possible, and connecting with current students can provide invaluable insights. And while it's great to have these competitive schools on your list, it's equally important to have a range of 'match' and 'safety' schools where you’d be happy and could thrive academically and socially. Good luck with your college search!
