Hello peeps. I'm putting together my college list and, not gonna lie, I'm hustling for Georgia Tech. Could anyone shed some light on their admissions statistics? Like acceptance rates or average SAT scores and GPAs, for recent years. Thanks in advance!
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some insight into the admissions statistics for Georgia Tech. One thing to note is that, as of 2024, Georgia Tech is accepting standardized test scores and their test-optional policy is not in effect.
For the class of 2027, the middle 50% SAT score range was 1330-1510. These numbers might fluctuate slightly for subsequent years, but it gives you a rough idea of the scores of admitted students. Remember, these are middle 50% ranges, which means 25% of admitted students scored below this range and 25% scored above.
It's equally important to consider GPAs. Looking at data from fall 2023's incoming class, the average high school GPA of admitted students was approximately 4.1 on a weighted 4.0 scale. So, a majority of admitted students at Georgia Tech are at the top of their class.
However, remember that Georgia Tech, like most universities, uses a holistic review process. This means that while your grades and test scores are important, they are not the sole determinants of your admissions outcome. Other parts of your application, such as extracurriculars and essays, also play a crucial role in gauging your fit and contribution to their community.
Georgia Tech is highly selective with an acceptance rate of about 16% for the incoming class in 2023. However, remember that admission rates can vary by major, year, and even the applicant pool's competitiveness. Nonetheless, this gives you an idea of the selectivity and what you’re up against.
Remember, these are just averages and ranges, and every year, students get admitted with scores and GPAs both above and below these numbers. Good luck with your application!
