<p>My daughter received her admissions to RPI today, ED2 round. She received a letter in the mail. The online system is not yet working to see her admission or place deposit. Anyone else have the online system working or not working?</p>
<p>She'll join her older brother at RPI.</p>
<p>Nevermind, it came online at 7pm.</p>
<p>Congratulations. That is exciting! It’s nice that you have things settled so early in senior year 
</p>
<p>Next weekend we will be visiting Case and Carnegie Mellon. If RPI accepts my son and offers good merit $, we will likely visit there again.</p>
<p>Congrats to your D!!</p>
<p>Wow, two children at RPI. At least that makes things a little simpler - just one place to move in to, just one Famlily Weekend, etc.</p>
<p>And with two kids at one school, you will only need to deal with one school’s set of rules/dates for Financial Aid paperwork. </p>
<p>Speaking of which… I started sifting through deadline info for FAFSA and CSS Profile for 9 colleges last night. Since my son is RD, I thought I didn’t need to do anything til taxes done (I’ve started what I can, but waiting on W2s, etc). Did I goof? Per RPI excerpts below, they say soon after 10/1 for CSS… is that only for ED? I’ve read CSS can only be updated by hand/printout, so I want to do things right. Also…any other hints? </p>
