We visited RPI this past weekend for their Spring open house. I was going in with lower expectations based on a few other parents I know who have visited the school for their Engineering school. It was a beautiful day which helps with the school presentation, but we overall really liked the school. Their performing arts center is the most beautiful hall I’ve seen at a school. It’s not a large school, which is important to my D, and not far from home which is important for my SO. However, being a Technical school, with higher academic requirements, I’m not sure my D grades are good enough to get in. Think they are looking for A/A- students not B+/B students, even for the Architecture program. Putting it in the short list for reach schools. Seem like most of our schools are now falling into that bucket…
