Georgia Tech Undergraduate and then MIT/Caltech Graduate

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I am a Canadian International student who was accepted into Georgia Tech's undergraduate Aerospace Engineering Program, but wait listed by Caltech and rejected by MIT. However, I plan to continue to pursue graduate studies at those two dream schools of mine. Could anyone who has been to Georgia Tech's Engineering program (aero or in general) give me some numbers on the number of undergrads who end up in MIT and Caltech for grad school?</p>

<p>Also, because of the sensitivity of some of the aerospace jobs, would a Canadian still find co-op opportunities for aerospace at Georgia Tech? Would this also apply after I graduate when I will be looking for a job?</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I don’t think you would find such specific stats, i.e. number of GT undergrads who went to CalTech and MIT for grad school. I also plan on doing aerospace engineering, so I’m wondering what stats you had that had got you into GT, cause I want to go there as well. </p>

<p>You’ll ned to call the AE Dept at Tech and see if they keep those statistics. I’ll say that graduating from Tech will certainly increase your chances. After all Tech has the 2nd ranked undergraduate AE program in the nation.
Most importantly what you do thru your undergraduate is what is going to define your chances. Have good grades and plenty of undergrad research performed will put you in the driving seat.</p>

<p>My SATs was 2260 (R:800 M:750 W:710) first try and 800 Math 2 and 790 physics. IB score of 40 with math, physics, chemsitry, and psychology as my HLs (equivalent to AP Calc BC AP Physics both Bs AP Chemistry and AP Psychology). I am am international Canadian student. Average of 94% for senior year. </p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestion, I will be sure to give them a call soon! Very true, in the end it is up to the individual. </p>

<p>Please tell me their reply too as i am also interested in doing the same. @dingpiano</p>
