Florida Tech acceptance rate and your odds of getting in

Florida Tech is a private college in Florida that admits most qualified applicants (around 58%), which puts it in the moderately selective range. A rate like this means it admits more applicants than it rejects; the bar is less about clearing a single cutoff and more about how your full profile compares to admitted students.

Use this page to see what Florida Tech weighs, where it ranks among Florida schools, and how a profile like yours is likely to land. Admitted students post a 75th-percentile SAT around 1150, a useful checkpoint for where your scores sit, though it is a reference range and not a cutoff.

What are my chances at Florida Tech with a 3.5 GPA and a 1220 SAT?

About 94% (Safety), by CollegeCalcAI's deterministic model, for an applicant with a 3.5 unweighted GPA and a 1220 SAT, the middle of Florida Tech's admitted range, applying Regular Decision without a hook. A 3.8 GPA with a 1320 SAT comes out near 97%. Courses, activities, essays and the application round move the number; the free calculator includes them.

Getting into Florida Tech comes down to four decisions, each one visible in the data on this page.

15,205 students applied to Florida Tech for fall 2023; 9,507 were admitted (62.5%). 882 enrolled. Only about 9% of admitted students enrolled, so the school admits several students for every seat it expects to fill, which is why its acceptance rate reads higher than its selectivity feels. Florida Tech enrolls about 3,404 undergraduates in total, 33% of them women, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 13 to 1.

Admitted students at Florida Tech post SAT scores of 1120 to 1320 in the middle 50%, with an average of 1225. On the ACT the middle 50% runs from 23 to 28. A score above 1320 puts you in the top quarter of admits and turns the test into an asset; a score below 1120 puts you in the bottom quarter, where the rest of the application has to carry more weight. Florida Tech requires test scores, so plan a test date that leaves time for one retake.

Florida Tech signals that it values rigor of secondary school record, academic GPA, and standardized test scores above the rest of the file. Solid grades in a challenging schedule do most of the work here, with the rest of the application providing context. These ratings come from Florida Tech's reported Common Data Set, so the full chart below reflects what the school itself says it values, not a generic guess.

If Florida Tech is on your list, schools with a similar admit profile are worth a look: Alvernia University, Drury University, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Running the same profile against each one in the free calculator is the fastest way to see where you are a reach, a match, or a likely.

Acceptance rate, application counts, admitted test ranges, cost, and outcomes reflect publicly reported federal data (U.S. Department of Education: IPEDS 2023 and the College Scorecard) and each school's Common Data Set; figures are rounded and lag the current cycle by one to two years, so confirm deadlines and policies on the school's own site. The typical-admit GPA and SAT are CollegeCalcAI's modeled estimates. Estimates from CollegeCalcAI are a planning tool computed by a fixed, transparent model, not a guarantee of any admission decision.
