Clarkson University

Hi everyone, I was wondering what my chances are of getting into Clarkson University. I am currently a junior in high school, and am taking all regular classes and have one honors class. I have a 3.3 gpa and received an 1120 on the psat. What do my chances look like?

Not very good, their average GPA is an uw 3.57 and their SAT scores are M: 633 CR:587 W:567. Your PSAT score is pretty dismal(unless you’re looking at it on a 1600 scale) but I’d need to know more about your ECs and your SAT score to really chance you.

Okay, thank you for responding. Using the same data, what would you say my chances are for RIT?

RIT will be more difficult than Clarkson, the average SAT varies greatly by program but most ranges are higher. For example computer science is 1810-2070. See https://www.rit.edu/emcs/admissions/pdf/SAT2014_2015guidelines.pdf
