How to get into Stevens Institute of Technology

Built from Stevens Institute of Technology's admitted class and what it reports weighing. The typical-admit GPA and SAT are CollegeCalcAI's modeled figures, not published cutoffs.

Here is how to get into Stevens Institute of Technology, built from what its admitted class actually looks like and what the school says it weighs.

Step 1
Match the typical admit on the transcript

CollegeCalcAI's modeled typical admit at Stevens Institute of Technology carries about a 3.47 core GPA and a 1455 SAT, in the most rigorous schedule available. Meeting it puts you in the admitted range for most applicants.

Step 2
Decide on scores with the real range

The admitted middle 50% is 1380 to 1505 SAT (31 to 34 ACT). Submit a score at 1443 or higher; below 1380, apply test-optional if the policy allows.

Step 3
Build the file around what Stevens Institute of Technology weighs

Stevens Institute of Technology rates rigor of secondary school record, academic GPA, and standardized test scores highest in its own Common Data Set. Put your depth there: and a transcript whose rigor rises through junior year.

Step 4
Apply in the round that helps

An early application signals interest and gets your file read before the pool fills. Most early deadlines fall on November 1 and Regular Decision on January 1 to 15; confirm Stevens Institute of Technology's exact dates at www.stevens.edu.
