<p>You should have absolutely no problem whatsoever getting in (assuming that 710 was in math).<br>
Are you considering RPI as a top choice, or just a backup? I'd love to see someone else from the area up in Troy (I graduated from Central Bucks West)!</p>

<p>Oh CB West? I know a bunch of kids from CB, not sure which one though since there are 3 high schools :)</p>

<p>I'm considering Penn State and Drexel as my main two, then RPI and RIT as secondary I guess you could say. I'm visiting all 4 this summer, so I'll probably have a better idea then. I'll let you know though if I go to RPI...</p>

<p>Apply Early Action to be safe!!</p>

5

<p>Is the same as early decision? I am going to apply early to all colleges, not sure about early decision though.</p>

6

<p>I think you would have a fair (not excellent :o) chance of getting in if you apply ED...</p>

<p>other than that...you'd better have some good essays...and your legacy should help you:D</p>

<p>Early Decision is NOT the same as Early Action. Early Decision is binding. RPI does not offer Early Action. They only offer early Decision. Be sure that RPI is your first choice and that you will go there once accepted if you apply Early Decision.</p>
