Georgia Tech is a very good school (tier 1) but not super elite. It is a state school. I never applied. Their 25th percentile ACT is 29 and 75th is 33.My son applied. He was not a state resident but they offered him a free education (Room board books, tuition and fees). He is an outlier as a person. He comes off as goofy boy with perfect GPA, Perfect SAT subject test scores, Perfect ACTu2019s and huge numbers and depth of extra-curricular activities he was accepted everywhere and went tou2026.MIT.So it is difficult, but a slightly larger school than the super elite schools with about 14,xxx undergraduates. 41% are admitted. It is rated as one of the 10 best PUBLIC schools in the US and #36 by US News.If international expect zero aid (it is a public school). If from Georgia it can be a great deal.
