RPI Candidate's Choice

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey everybody, how's it going? I just wanna know something. I just got an email from RPI saying I have Candidate's Choice Status. I'd like to ask:
1. Does this carry any significance in terms of acceptance (since it wasn't me who went out and asked)?
2. (Related) I heard there's a fee for people who want it, but that it's waived sometimes. Does the fact that they "selected" me mean that I get it free?
3. Does this have anything to do whatsoever with the RPI Medal? I don't know for sure, but I've been told informally that I came up, and for all I know I might've been the one to get it. Why was I the one who got it?
4. Is there any difference in the application between this and the Commonapp?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance guys</p>

<p>Many people get the Candidate’s Choice application for RPI. It is just a way for them to get their name out there. It has no impact on acceptance. </p>

<p>They used to waive the application fee with this, but I don’t think they do that any longer.</p>

<p>Your school selects who gets the RPI Medal from your school. It’s supposed to go to an outstanding math / science student.</p>
