Georgia Institute of Technology acceptance rate, SAT range and net price

Two Early Action dates, split by residency

Georgia Tech splits its early round by where the applicant lives. Early Action 1, due October 15, is for students at a Georgia high school or Georgia residents living elsewhere. Early Action 2, due November 2, is for everyone else, international students included. Both are non-binding and reviewed the same way as Regular Decision, which closes January 6. One detail matters for money: merit awards such as the Stamps President's Scholars Program are open only to students who apply through an Early Action plan, with no separate scholarship application.

Scores are required and read by section

Every first-year applicant must submit at least one SAT or ACT, and Georgia Tech recommends self-reporting. It takes the highest Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math sections across SAT sittings, and the highest English, Math and Reading on the ACT; the ACT Science and Writing sections are not used. A 1,450 lands around the 50% point of the enrolled class on our curve, below the median of 1,460. The enrolled class's SAT Math range runs from 700 to 790.

In-state and out-of-state are different schools

The resident advantage is large. For fall 2025, 3,691 of 12,527 Georgia applicants were admitted, against 4,513 of 44,596 from other states and 716 of 9,758 from abroad. Georgians filled 2,422 of the 4,071 seats. The waiting list helped a few: 4,875 accepted a place and 653 were admitted.

The 2026-27 bill

The out-of-state premium is the whole story of the price. A Georgia resident pays $10,618 in tuition and $1,516 in mandatory fees; an out-of-state student pays $34,604 in tuition. Housing and the standard meal plan come to $14,628. The financial aid office has already posted an estimated budget for 2027-28, useful for a student applying this fall who wants the figure for the actual first year. Federal averages show aided families paying far less than the sticker: $10,818 on average between $48,001 and $75,000 of income in 2023-24. In-state students from families under $55,500 can earn a degree debt free through the Georgia Tech Promise scholarship. Compare with Michigan and UT Austin in the comparison tool.
