Getting into RPI?

I have been a student in the engineering program at Quinsigammond Community College now for four semesters (this is my last full semester there), and I’m going to be transferring to a new school for the fall semester of 2018. My intended major is electrical engineering, and my number choice as to where I would like to go to school is RPI, and this is definitely where I want to go, but I’ve been worried about me possibly not getting accepted. I’ve already sent my application in through the Common App to them, and I’ve mailed them my unofficial college transcript, so I’m just waiting to hear back from them. I have a 3.45 GPA currently, and I’m expecting my GPA to be around this after the end of this semester, and I guess that you only need a 3.0 GPA to be considered for admission. I went to a vocational high school and studied electronics there for four years as my vocation, and I even was hired by my school to work as an IT assistant for about a year before I graduated. On the Common App I made sure to let them know about my background with electronics and even included my resume, because I had worked for a company called IPG in their Electro-Mechanical Assembly department as both an assembler and a technician. I feel like my background with electronics looks good, but I’m still worried that I might not be admitted into RPI. I was just wondering if anyone knows about the process of transferring, and if there is anything anyone knows about my chances of getting in. Anything helps, thank you!

Really difficult for anyone to give you anything concrete except for guesses so here’s mine. If your major was electrical engineering technology or similar at your community college I think you have a great chance of being accepted. A lot of your credits will transfer but there are a number of classes that won’t. My major at community college was Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology and transferred to City College for Electrical Engineering. Only I believe 32 credits of the 64 total transferred. I was very disappointed that I’d have to stay much longer so it’s important to be aware of this early. For example community colleges usually offer technical calculus but you should refuse it and take normal calculus, etc. Just one example, but my point is that you should be aware that you need to be sure that you can cover however many years you REALLY have left to finish RPI before you attend to make sure you can afford to finish there.

As far as your gpa and your major, I think RPI would say yes. Good luck.
