RPI. I know a young woman who applied to RPI at the last minute and she got an amazing scholarship. She beat out the #2 Asian male in her class who is also going there. Her belief is that it was because she was female. Graduates from RPI go on to get great jobs and although Troy, NY may not seem appealing on first glace, it grows on you and students I’ve known have had a great experience there. The hockey games are a blast.
