<p>It looks like you have taken all the right courses and did above the RPI average on your SATs. Grades are a little low, but not out of line. I think RPI is the right sort of school for you to be looking at and have a good chance to get in.</p>

<p>If you have your heart set on RPI, I would go ahead and apply early decision. They say it makes no difference, but I think it does. Schools like to know you really want to be there.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for replying! You really think i have a good shot? its my number one school, so i was thinking of applying ED II so my first term grades come in</p>

<p>Is ED II at RPI after acceptances from other ED programs? We were told by the guidance counselor that is usually the case.</p>
