Where should I go NJIT or RPI?

70-45=25
I agree with @TQfromtheU , if you cant find a place to get the 25 then it’s not worth even thinking about. You can’t take that much out in parent plus loan because it’s just way more than any university is worth, so it would have to be money that you have at the ready.

@justanotherteen Here’s a suggestion for you,
Go to this site, http://admissions.rpi.edu/undergraduate/admission/transfer/2-2-engineering.html
you will see that RPI will accept full transfer of credits from CCM so there is NO wasted time. You take 2 years at CCM and come into RPI as a junior and do 2 more years, junior and senior and get your RPI degree. For you, CCM will probably be free by my guess looking at what your other scholarships look like.

If you try the same at NJIT eventhough they are a great school (with unfortunately no prestige or recognition by companies outside of New Jersey), you can call Anna at the admissions office and she will explain that many of NJIT’s courses are NOT accepted by RPI so it would be a waste of time going to NJIT. Just to clarify, all of CCM’s courses that RPI requires are fully accepted.
