How Stevens Institute of Technology compares in USA

The figures on this page mean little on their own. Set against the 30 other USA universities in our dataset, they say something more useful about where an application to Stevens Institute of Technology is likely to be won or lost.

• Selectivity. An indicative acceptance rate of about 61% against a median of 45% across the 30 other USA universities in our dataset. 21 of them are harder to get into than Stevens Institute of Technology. It sits on the more accessible side of its national peer group, which usually means a complete, early, well-matched application matters more than an exceptional one.
• Rank in context. QS #450, against a peer median of #89; 29 USA universities rank above it here. Rank is worth exactly this much and no more — it is driven by institution-wide research output and reputation surveys, not by the department you would actually join, so treat it as a coarse filter and judge the programme on its own page.
• English bar. IELTS 6.5 against a peer median of 7. That is below the national norm, which makes it a low-risk gate here, but the same score may not clear the universities you are applying to alongside it. Prepare to the highest bar on your list, not this one. Equivalents: TOEFL 80, PTE 60.

Programme areas: MS Computer Science · MS Software Engineering · MS Electrical Engineering · MS Data Science · MBA. Entry requirements are set per programme, not per university, so the figures above are the institutional baseline — a competitive department inside an accessible university can run far tighter than the headline rate suggests.

Practical order of work for Stevens Institute of Technology: clear the English requirement first, because it gates everything and is the only part of the application you fully control; then confirm which of the Fall (Aug) and Spring (Jan) intakes you are targeting, since the typical deadline is Rolling and funding decisions usually close before admission decisions; then build the application around one specific programme rather than the institution. Budget the application fee of $75 per programme, and living costs of $12,000–20,000/yr on top of tuition of ~$44k/yr tuition; total cost of attendance ~$63k.

Figures here are indicative and compiled for comparison. Acceptance rates in particular are institution-level estimates and move year to year — confirm anything you are deciding on against the university's official pages.
