#Ga tech my checklist college confidential for free
Interesting as it much have changed, because my cousins all went to Tech and were able to go and automatically get in as well as go for free as long as they maintained a B average. Nervous for Friday for my middle son who was admitted to UGA last week - he is a double legacy at Tech and it is high up on his list. With 5k more applicants, there was roughly an 1800 increase in state, leading to roughly 3200 more OOS applications for EA. Even with a 35% admission rate it is still very difficult to get in in state and there are many who transfer in or take one of the several conditional pathways into Tech. This makes it very competitive OOS (due to high stats and large application numbers - around 14% admission rate) vs in state with roughly 35% admission rate.
Georgia Tech’s top 5 ranking in the country for most engineering disciplines means a large number of high stats kids apply from across the country. Once admitted, you are given the Hope/Zell scholarship if you qualify at any Georgia public institution (and a small amount for any private institution in Georgia). Interestingly, UGA does not take state residency into account while there is a benefit to being a Georgia resident at Ga Tech. That is a decision made by each individual school admission department. UGA has roughly 80 percent in state students, and Ga Tech is roughly 60 percent.
Georgia schools do not have the auto admit (like Texas which admits top percentage of the class)) except for valedictorian and salutatorian, nor is there any requirement that they accept a certain percentage of students from out of state or in state (like UNC). Problem is, they’re another one of those states that have to accept a huge amount of their students from OOS, so while their in state applications increase and they have the auto acceptance program (I forgot what it’s called there), so any get the free college, it makes it harder for other in state students as well to get in as well as increasingly difficult for OOS. But comparatively so, if 5k is the number of applications over last year, it doesn’t sound like the OOS apps increased significantly in any case since Georgia is one state and you have a lot of international and OOS applicants and the one big difference with GA Tech is they don’t require the common app essay and just have the two short essays and once they dropped their test requirements that also changed the ball game for a lot of people. May have actually calculated wrong, not sure where my mind was, lol, as there were only about 5k more applicants for EA overall this year than last year and that’s just under 25% increase over last year, actually more like 23% (5k/22k) and not sure what I was thinking, although I can’t find any data on the break down of in state applications for EA vs OOS, only accepted, but for some reason in my mind I was thinking if 18% of the 25% (really 23) were OOS then the remainder were OOS but I took the wrong base.
