RPI Chances

<p>Tell me if I can get in...Please
I try to be a hardworking student. I am in 6 different clubs at my high school and I am an officer of 5 of them: Students Against Destructive Decisions (President), Drama Company (President), Biology Club (Secretary and Treasurer), Acapella group (Treasurer and Tenor Section Leader), The School's Literary magazine (Publicity and Coordinating Editor), and a member of the National Honor Society. I have approximately a 3.8 GPA (unweighted) and above a 4.0 (weighted). I have taken 6 AP Classes: AP Environmental Science (3), AP Chemisty (3), AP Literature (3), AP Physics (5), AP Statistics (Pending), and AP Biology (Pending). I recieved a 1910 on my SATs and a 28 on my ACTs, with a 720 in the Chemistry SAT II and a 670 in the Physics SAT II. I have over 600 hours of community service and I am applying for biomedical engineering. Please tell me if I can get in!!!</p>

<p>You have very good chances if recommendations and essays support your stats.</p>

<p>Yeah, you definitely have a good chance at getting in there… Although your SAT is on the lower end, you still have your ACT, which is in the middle… Idk if you’re a senior or junior asking, but if you’re a junior, then my advice to you would be to submit your ACT and not your SAT…</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Actually, his SAT score is a stronger score - it is equal to about a 29 ACT:</p>

<p>RPI’s ACT scores look lower because the students from the areas that RPI is seeking geographic distribution tend to take the ACT.</p>
