<p>bumpppppppppppppppppppppp</p>

5

<p>I think your chances are pretty good. I am also applying to RPI, but not ED. Just RD. I'd be amazed if they didn't accept you.</p>

6

<p>thanx alot man :) .... i visited rpi and found it to be a great (realistic lol) school for engineering.. so i made my decision</p>

7

<p>Any1 else give an opinion?</p>

8

<p>yes, I think you'll get in too. Good luck!</p>

9

<p>Yeah, I visited there too. It certainly has a better women to men ratio than WPI, but the city sucks ass I heard. But for engineering, RPI and WPI seem to be good. Did you apply to WPI as well?</p>

<p>You should get in, but if you can, retake the SAT and get that verbal score up</p>

<p>I live about 5 minutes from Troy, and yes, the entire area sucks badly - there is nothing at all to do aside from drink, although going downtown, you can buy just about any drug you want (although I <em>assume</em> that this is not a high priority for you). Troy is a pretty rough place, not like NYC or anything, but fights and theft are common in the neighborhoods, and I would never dare walk around after dark.</p>

11

<p>There is no reason why you shouldn't be accepted at RPI. I am applying there as well. Yeah, I heard Troy basically just sucks, nothing to do except freeze your ass off.</p>

12

<p>According to Princeton Review, the RPI acceptance rate is 80%, and you look like a fine candidate. Only thing you need to do is bring up that SAT--their average is 1310. Good luck!</p>

13

<p>I doubt it's 80%, but I'm sure it's around 50-60.</p>

14

<p>yea i am also applying to wpi too, but i found rpi to be better... although the city does suck lol</p>

15

<p>I plan on going to RPI next year. It's a great school. REALLY bad town though. The "Troylet" is not my first choice for a pleasant environment. Oh well. Best of luck to you. RPI has a high acceptance rate because the kids that apply there know they want to go there and have the requirements.</p>

16

<p>does your school have a 4 season sports schedule or something? i've never heard of that before...</p>

<p>and yeah, you look like a good bet</p>

17

<p>ohhh yea.... what happens is that track is everyday.... but ice hockey is not..... because the ice is too expensive to rent everyday (its like $ 300 and hour or something).. and when we do have it is usually at night so it doesnt interfere with track :)</p>

<p>Marines.. are u applying regular???? what are your stats?</p>
