Outrage Over Georgia Tech’s Fabricated Acceptance Rate Claim Sparks Accusations of Institutional Deception In the competitive landscape of top-tier universities, Georgia Tech has long been celebrated for its rigorous academics, innovation-driven culture, and selective admissions. But recent revelations have shaken public confidence: allegations that the institution fabricated—or significantly inflated—its undergraduate acceptance rate, igniting widespread outrage among applicants, parents, and higher education watchdogs. ### What Happened? Sources within Georgia Tech’s admissions office and leaked internal reports have suggested that the university reportedly adjusted or misrepresented its published acceptance rate from historically consistent figures (traditionally around 6–8%) to a far higher number—some as high as 13%—in recent years. While Georgia Tech has not officially confirmed falsification, internal communications reportedly indicate pressure to improve perceived selectivity to maintain elite status.
