It was pretty easy to get in, RIT wasAug 14 2015Biology
It was pretty easy to get in, RIT was my backup school. When i was searching for schools I heard someone say RIT was a A caliber school for B caliber students. This is pretty much true grade wise, although I was sitting at about a 92 average in high school. Do some extra activities and get a decent SAT score and you can get in with an average in the mid to high 80s.

I did well in high school and graduated withJan 10 2013Biology
I did well in high school and graduated with honors, participated in a lot of extra curricular activities and obtained leadership positions, did over 100 hours of community service in the National Honor Society, and took advantage of many opportunities to ensure good test scores. I took both the ACT and the SAT. I also used the Common App to cut down on time. Lastly, I had multiple people review my essays and personal statements.

It's easy to get in because they really wantFeb 01 2012Electrical Engineering
It's easy to get in because they really want to let YOU specifically in. They want people who are actively persuing their passion and who are putting the effort in to look for the best school to get a degree in that field. Just remember, RIT is notorious for being easy to get in but hard to stay in.
