Hello, most of these posts on the chances forums appear to be to top Ivy schools and the UCs, so I apologize if I’m in the wrong place, I’m a new member to CC. I was simply wondering about my chances at getting into Rochester Institute of Technology. My stats aren’t perfect, but I thought I’d give this a go.
UW GPA: 3.5 W: 3.7
I never took the SAT (should I?) but I got a 31 on the ACT. (Should I improve that?)
This year I took AP French (4) and AP 2D Art (5). I’m planning on AP Bio for senior year.
EC:
-Interact (community service club) for 3 years
-Drama for 4 years
-French Honors Society for 2 years
-Yearbook for only 1 year
-I was involved in 2 mission trips with my church
-I worked at a tutoring center for young children for almost a year.
-I don’t know if this even matters at all, but just in case I have a dual citizenship in both the USA and Chile, I speak fluent Spanish and spent 4+ years all together in Chile. Again, I don’t know if that even matters but I thought I would throw that in.
-I would also be a first gen. college student.
I’m a girl, I don’t know if that gives me any advantage during admissions but I do know RIT has an off male to female ratio, would that help my case? I’m also interested in applying to RIT’s Game Development major. I imagine that’s a competitive program but again, would me being a female help my case?
Thank you for taking time to read this, and any constructive criticism on my ECs or scores overall would be great. Thanks!
