How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus admits 14.1% of applicants, making it among the more selective public universities in the country. Among admitted students who submitted scores, the middle 50% scored between 1,370 and 1,540 on the SAT (interquartile range), and between 30 and 34 on the ACT. Among enrolled undergraduates, 13.9% receive Pell Grants and 14.9% are first-generation college students — figures that reflect the institution's selective profile. Transfer enrollment is modest, at 22.6%. Azimuth ranks Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus #183 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. That ranking reflects the structural tension common to highly selective institutions: a narrow admission funnel limits the number of low-income and first-generation students who can benefit from the institution's strong outcomes, even when per-student results are strong. For students who do enroll, outcomes are notably strong. The six-year graduation rate is 94.0%, and Pell-eligible students complete at 78.0% — a meaningful signal of institutional support for students from lower-income backgrounds. Low-income graduates earn median earnings of $83,900 on a historical 10-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 98.8 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus #127 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. As Azimuth's analysis of access versus outcomes at scale explores, the gap between what outcomes show an institution could deliver for mobility and what admission volume does deliver is the structural constraint on access and mobility ranks — and Georgia Tech illustrates that pattern clearly. Work-study is available as part of the institution's aid structure, per the financial aid page.
