SUMMARY

The Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) has an acceptance rate of 83%, making it a viable option for students with a GPA around 3.0, especially for Florida residents. The university is recognized for its strong programs in science and engineering, although it is noted that the courses can be challenging and the tuition is relatively high, approximately $25,150 for engineering majors. Admissions decisions primarily consider unweighted GPA, but they also reweight GPAs based on individual transcripts. Students are encouraged to visit the campus and consult with admissions counselors for personalized guidance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of GPA calculations and their impact on college admissions.
  • Familiarity with the SAT and its role in the admissions process.
  • Knowledge of Florida's Bright Futures scholarship program.
  • Awareness of the academic offerings at Florida Tech, particularly in engineering and science fields.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Florida Tech's specific engineering programs, including Aerospace Engineering.
  • Explore the Bright Futures scholarship eligibility and application process.
  • Investigate the differences between unweighted and weighted GPA in college admissions.
  • Plan a campus visit to Florida Tech to meet with admissions counselors and current students.
USEFUL FOR

Prospective students, especially those interested in engineering and science, Florida residents considering Florida Tech, and individuals seeking insights into college admissions processes and GPA implications.

We now have all sorts of facilities and labs. Things have changed since you were a student.

I agree, nbo is living in the past because there are 3 olin buildings. I could imagine what things would have been like without those 3 (and they are recent). so in a way i understand nbo's perspective. then again I'm new to this and this is the first US college that I am attending.

Go School of Self-Study!

I have an admissions offer from florida tech and erau for spring 2012 and the fee from both is 34K and 33K usd (I have scholarship of 14k frm FLTech n 6k from ERAU). I have a decision to make but finances is an issue for me. If i go to either right now i will have to loan 20k a year. my major is aerospace engg and i am an international student. we do not have aerospace schools in my country.
the dilemma is that all that i have read on the internet it seems that FLTech can provide me with another need based 10k while as ERAU won't. Then the co-op program is an issue. I can't find enough details about co-ops at erau. while as FLTech website says that co-ops can earn me 30k. I talked to erau officials and students and they said that it is not possible to increase to scholarship amount and on campus jobs are less too. I am really concerned about the research options available since i will surely attend a graduate school and i want that to be a big school.
Now the worth of erau is known to every one. This is where i can't find any comparisons to fltech on the internet. nobody compares their programs and their prestige. Prestige wise ERAU seems much better but i have a consideration of finances and i plan to enroll in graduate school ryt after undergrad and believe that i will maintain a good gpa at college, my target is not less than 3.7. I plan on a graduate school from CalTech, MIT,GTech and likes.
Please help me choose. i am really getting confused
