<p>Enjoy =)</p>
<p>Thanks, cesium55, I’ve already rsvped, I was just wondering if anyone else was going. Are you attending?</p>
<p>Oh whoops, somehow I completely misread your original post =)</p>
<p>I won’t be there =(. I just graduated from RPI last spring, so I’m not even going to be able to help out.</p>
<p>However, there will be a lot of good people there, so I highly recommend showing up!</p>
<p>We went last year.</p>
<p>My S didn’t end up accepting RPI’s offer of acceptance - but good luck to you!</p>
<p>Does anybody know if medalist selections can still be made for the Class of 2012?</p>
<p>My school has not yet awarded the RPI medal for the class of 2012 and I emailed RPI about it and they said it’s not too late and to talk to my guidance counselor ASAP! Good luck to both of us :)</p>
<p>My parents can’t afford for me to go to NY and my school started 3 weeks ago. Is it possible to still get a certificate or the actual medal? THAT MEDAL LOOKS AWESOME!!!</p>
<p>@kevinkyukim, you only actually receive the medal if you are nominated, AND you are accepted to RPI, AND enroll at RPI.</p>
<p>The nomination is just the first step.</p>
<p>aww 
i really want that medal! (rpi isnt that high on my list atm)</p>
<p>Can any medalist confirm that there is a streamlined app with fee waiver for medalists this year? And was this sent to you by mail, email, or what?</p>
<p>I just got selected as medalist (for class of 2012) a few days ago but haven’t received any notice so far from RPI.</p>
<p>Yes they let you use something called candidate’s choice application.</p>
<p>Candidates Choice Application can be used by anyone who receives the email-it is not just for the medalist-it is a shortened app-actually my son and i wondered if it was really worth it since RPI will take the common app</p>
<p>I don’t have any data to support my theory, but if your son is at all borderline for RPI, I’d do the Candidates Choice Application. It shows a higher level of interest in RPI than hitting submit on the common app for one more school. That may make a difference if a tough decision.</p>
