<p>I’d say you have at least some chance. I certainly saw people with fewer credentials in my time at RIT, so depending on the selectivity of the specific programs you’re applying to, I don’t think the application process will be a real problem - just focus a good amount of time on your essay and proofread your application carefully to ensure you’re presenting yourself in the best (yet still truthful) light.</p>

<p>Where you might run into trouble is financial aid. RIT is likely to only offer you a little aid, the standard package, based on your credentials. If you qualify for need-based aid, don’t expect too much more than that, either - they don’t give out a lot of money for that. In state/out of state doesn’t matter for RIT tuition, the only in-state benefit you get is access to TAP funds from New York state.</p>

<p>Hope this helps you.

<p>If you are a female that would probably be in your favor, as they have summer programs to try and attract girls to engineering.</p>

<p>I am a junior with a 3.1 GPA and a 1940 on the SATs
Do you think I could get in?</p>

<p>At RIT, when you apply you are applying to a specific major and the grades and scores needed for the various majors differ greatly.</p>

<p>Pages 48 of 56 and 49 of 56 in the Prospectus may help you:</p>
