Starting thread. Read last years and around Dec 4th there were some decisions.
Hopping on the train 
was waiting to see when you were boarding
Yes, last year my son received his acceptance on December 4th also. People should start getting them soon.
@mjdrzal, what about Merit? was that a few weeks later, so it was not included initially? and Fin aid? Is there a parents FB group that is good?
Yes, merit was a few weeks later. We did not get fin aid. Sorry, I’m not a FB user. However it’s a great school. My Son loves it there.

Very happy to report that my son recieved his decision today, admitted to Computer Science! Now we wait to see what the $$ looks like, sounds like that won’t be out till mid December, both for merit and FA and they will come separately.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Congrats! We also got word of acceptance into Mech Engineering program. Same deal here, will wait for the merit package to come to decide whether it’s a good deal or not. RIT is one of his top choices, so it’s a relief to get that acceptance.
My S just got word. Accepted to ME with automotive option.

My S19 just got accepted to Game Design . As with everyone else, will wait for Merit and FA. But great news early
Congrats to all your students. How were you notified of your acceptances? Email, regular mail or portal??
Also, does anyone know if a student has ever been rejected after receiving the RIT Computing Medal Award at their high school?
My son got an e-mail saying that his application status had changed, so he logged into his RIT account and the acceptance letter (along with some confetti graphics) came up on screen. The letter said that any merit based aid would come in a later letter mailed to our house.
Thank you and congrats to your son!
@BoystoCollege2 I think that’s a great question and have wondered that myself but it would be really hard to know or track unless someone posted here that it happened to their child. It does say that it doesn’t garuntee admission so it’s certainly possible.
