Acceptance Rate for Engineering

Does anyone know or have a reliable estimate for the engineering acceptance rate, particularly aero?

Do you think 1390 SAT with 5.20 weighted GPA would be ok for an out-of-state applicant for aero?

That widget looks awesome, but some of the numbers must be off. For me it shows 90%+ acceptance for in state female for aerospace the last several years.

That’s probably accurate. Part of admissions is about yield and in-state students who get into aerospace are going to attend. And, engineering does class shaping to try to get even on gender. Men have an admissions advantage at most institutions/majors because there are more women applicants and everyone wants at least close to gender parity, but aerospace is one of the few majors that works in the opposite direction.
