<p>Not sure if you’ve seen this - this lists the ranges of accepted applicants by major (scroll down to page 50 or 52). Bear in mind that these are accepted students, and not enrolled students (the enrolled students will be lower, because the highest scoring students are often using RIT as a second choice).</p>
<p>Thank you for mentioning that these scores are for accepted applicants. I didn’t even notice that and I had just assumed that these scores were for the enrolled class.</p>
<p>Don’t take this as gospel, but when my son and I met with an admissions officer, he implied that if your grades were on par and your test scores were at the 25th percentile, you would be likely to get in.</p>
<p>The link above provides the 25th percentile and 75th percentile test scores by department/major for accepted applicants.</p>
<p>Here’s what they list for the Computing and Information Sciences College majors (SAT 25th/75th percentile, followed by ACT 25th/75th percentile). I think you can apply for three different majors.</p>
<p>Computer Science 1740-2030 27-32
Information Sciences and Technologies 1540-1830 24-29
Interactive Games and Media 1720-2000 26-31
Networking, Security and Systems Administration 1600-1930 24-30
Software Engineering 1760-2010 28-31</p>
<p>I’d recommend sending an email to an admissions officer at RIT with the same info you’ve provided us in this post, and then ask if you can talk to that person by phone. They will be happy to talk to you about your chances for admission, and give you advice on what you need to do to get in.</p>
<p>They’ll probably tell you that your test scores are not the be-all-and-end-all, and probably will tell you that your grades and the rigor of your curriculum are more important. I would guess that they’ll like your junior year grades, because those are far more important than frosh or sophomore grades.</p>
<p>Good luck, and if you’re really interested in RIT, tell them that, because that really can make a difference.</p>
<p>Just to add some perspective - I am a computer engineering student at RIT. </p>
<p>To be perfectly honest, your standardized test scores are a bit low, but that doesn’t count you out. Your course load is great and you seem to have lots of activities. Keep working on that GPA and I think you have a shot at CE.</p>
<p>Just in case you don’t know, CE is in the school of engineering and we do the typical engineering coursework, lots of high-level math and theoretical stuff. CET is more hands on and less demanding, but the job prospects aren’t as good because its not an “engineering” degree in the classical sense.</p>
<p>I would go for CE if you are interested in it and you can always think about CET if you don’t get into CE.</p>
<p>And FYI to Boondocks, not everyone takes RIT as a second choice it was the only school I applied to with a 93 GPA in High school and a 2170 SAT.</p>

<p>ctrlaltdel121: I also think highly of RIT. My favorite graduate is my sister (Packaging Eng’g, circa 1987), my biggest client is a graduate, and I have talked to or interviewed numerous successful, high quality RIT grads in my career (I interview executives for a living).</p>
<p>We’ll see if my son winds up going there - right now, that’s his preference, but we have a year to go. I’d be very happy to see him graduate from your school.</p>
