<p>GSM & mathmomvt-I’ll add a third (our son) also travelling in that circle. In via EA at WPI and UVM and waiting RD on RPI, RIT, Clarkson and a few others. Was wondering if either of you looked at the later and had any opinions. Also, I gather GSM that your experience with your D a few years ago was that RPI offered much better (at least initially) merit $$ than did WPI. Do you recall what those initial amounts were at each school? Is RPI typically more generous or better endowed for these awards?</p>
