The Georgia Institute of Technology (usually just called Georgia Tech) is a popular choice for engineering: duh, it’s right in the name. The public research university and institute of technology in the ATL has impressive programs in all things STEM, including undergraduate engineering through their College of Engineering. Georgia Tech is always competitive to get into; however, how competitive it is depends on where you are applying from. While their overall acceptance rate was around last year, as a public school, in-state students see higher acceptance rates. Last year, their in-state acceptance rate was 33%, while their out-of-state rate was 10% and their international rate was just under 8%. This means if you aren’t a Georgian, you need to be even more competitive. But how? Let’s break it down.
