Graduating from RPI Comp Sci, ask me anything

[Randwulf]

<p>Dzoikoan96,</p>

<p>I don’t know the answer to that personally, but looking around I found this on RPI’s website:</p>

<p>

Students may also apply via the Candidate’s Choice Application. This streamlined application is available to students who have expressed an interest in Rensselaer. Please note that students applying to an accelerated program (in law or medicine) can’t apply using the Candidate’s Choice Application.

</p>

<p>And a few threads here on CC, like this one:</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rensselaer-polytechnic-institute/1529062-candidates-choice-application.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/rensselaer-polytechnic-institute/1529062-candidates-choice-application.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>In that thread gemmsha13 emailed RPI admissions and got this response:</p>

<p>

"Thank you for your email and your interest in Rensselaer. The Candidate’s Choice Application is our own application (Rensselaer-specific). We do not prefer any one application over another- we also accept the Common Application and the Universal College Application. Which application you use is completely up to you, so you may use whichever one is most convenient for you. The Candidate’s Choice application is a little shorter, and some of the information is pre-populated. We are looking for the same thing whether you complete the personal statement on the Candidate’s Choice Application or the essay on the Common Application. </p>

<p>You may use any application to apply under any of our application options (Early Decision or Regular Decision). Our application deadlines are below- and all of the deadlines and notification dates are the same no matter which application you use to apply. When you are notified of your decision depends on how you apply, no matter when you actually submit your application (i.e., you may submit an application in August under Regular Decision, and you still wouldn’t receive a decision until March 8th). Also, no matter which application you choose to use, your application fee is waived as a Rensselaer Medalist.</p>

<p>Early Decision I (binding): November 1 (notification on December 14th)
Accelerated Law/Medical: November 1 (please note students applying for these programs may NOT use the Candidate’s Choice Application)
Early decision II (binding): December 15 (notification on January 18th)
Regular Decision (non-binding): January 15 (notification on March 8th)"
