RPI & University of Rochester

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm applying to 6 universities as a transfer with my top 2 choices shown in the title. I have a 10k/yr scholarship to RPI but from what I've heard in my interview at UR, they give a LOT of financial aid.</p>

<ol>
<li>University of Rochester</li>
<li>RPI</li>
<li>New York University</li>
<li>University at Albany</li>
<li>SUNY Binghamton</li>
<li>Union College</li>
</ol>

<p>I plan to major in both Physics and Math.
I've taken classes such as Engineering Physics I, Dynamics, Gen Chem I & II, Calc 1-3, Differential Equations, Astronomy, and two Linear Algebra courses.
My current cumulative cumulative GPA is 3.5.
I'll be transferring out of the community college I currently go to with 71 credits.
I never took the SAT or ACT.
I am a work-study math tutor for the college.
I've been president of a math & engineering club at college for almost 2 years.</p>

<p>From this information, what are my chances of getting into these universities? Between UR and RPI, which would be more suitable for math and physics?</p>

<p>Congratulations on being accepted to RPI. It is one of the best engineering schools in the country. If your goal is engineering I don’t think you could go wrong with RPI or U Rochester.</p>

<p>RPI has a lot involvement with internships and other opportunities during college for their undergrads, in regards to reputation, RPI also has an great reputation in the world of Physics, Math, and Engineering. The connections to the industry coming out of RPI would be substantially greater, and the academics of RPI in that field I would personally say from all my research out weighs Rochester.</p>
