Some people have been accepted already and I want to be able to share our stats and figure out when others will hear back

It was weird because I was called by FedEx as there was a problem with my address. An hour later I checked all the university account if there was anything missing in the apps, and noticed that I was accepted. Moreover, it turned out that they shipped me all the necessary documents

@mrtplt You were accepted Regular Decision? When did you submit your application?

congratulations - that is a lot earlier than I thougt. Cab I ask where on the portal you found your acceptance ?

I sent my application on December 10 and I haven’t heard anything yet. but I hope to hear back soon!

I received a pamphlet for an accepted students event, but no actual acceptance… has anyone else experienced the same?

I did not get a pamphlet, so I would feel pretty good if I were you.
Not to get your hopes up

My D received a couple post cards for Save The Date for a women’s open house event. However they do state that they’re not any indication of acceptance but want to give advance notice of the event. The event is not through admissions, I believe, but an on-campus group. She applied RD before Dec 1. We have not heard anything yet.

RIT has sent more brochures thru the mail after applying than any other school…

I have not gotten a single brochure since I applied. It has been over a month since I got an e-mail newsletter.

Looks like my S was accepted, but once again we found out in a round-about way.

We got an email about FAFSA and financial aid that started with “Congratulations again on your acceptance to RIT!.” My S never got any other emails letting him know or to check his portal.

Congratulations! Can I ask you if the portal was updated as well?

@dbjs70, did your S apply RD?

Does anyone know if any engineering students have been accepted? I know Biomedical, Chemical, and Mechanical Engineering are their most competitive program so they might take longer. I applied to the Biomedical Engineering program at the end of November and haven’t heard anything. I did get an letter for the Women in Engineering program for accepted students. I’m just really anxious to hear back :confused:

ACCEPTED under REGULAR DECISION [Saunders College of Business, Finance (BS) program]

International Applicant - From Japan but school in Australia
SAT w/ Essay: 2170 (superscore, taken twice)
ACT w/ Essay: 31
Didn’t submit SAT Subjects
High School Transcripts were above average but nothing special. What stood out for me I think is my athletics (varsity for rowing, rugby, ski, and track & field) and my translation business, photography business, and internship during my gap year.

I didn’t realise I was accepted until I read that @mrtplt said he/she was accepted under RD and I checked the portal.
I didn’t get an email or anything and there was no special notification on my portal (myRIT).
To answer your question @pjreil, when I logged in, in the ‘Your Next Steps’ box (top left), it said ‘Admission Decision Information’, then ‘Congratulations!’ under that.

@Pepper17, yes regular decision.
@pjreil, no portal has NOT been updated
@HarmanKLB, my S applied for engineering.

My son qualifies for NTID, though doesn’t really need the services. I don’t know how that factors into the process. I don’t know if that affects the portal not being updated, but I’m starting to wonder if the email we got that I referenced yesterday was an error of some sort…

DD was accepted ED in the Saunders School of Business. She got her acceptance letter in the mail in November, and her portal was updated the day after the letter arrived. She is a recruited athlete and her application was flagged as such. Don’t know if that made a difference in how quickly she was accepted/notified or if it was because she was in the ED round.

Stats: 3.8 UW GPA, SAT 1640 (CR-510, M-560, W-570)

I got my acceptance letter today in the mail! I applied in state regular decision!
