<p>I am applying for regular decision at RIT and I’m freaking out because IDK if I’m up to par with their students. I know my SAT scores are above their 75 percentile but I think they care more about GPA, and mine is not so great:</p>
<p>3.6 unweighted GPA
4.1 Weighted GPA
top 19% of class
1940 SAT - 690 Math, 640 Writing, 610 Reading
AP scores: Calculus BC=4, Biology=5, US history=4
Currently taking AP Literature, AP Chemistry
Intended major: bioinformatics</p>
<p>I’m currently in a year-long student internship with NIH which I think will be helpful, I have a letter of recommendation from the scientist that I work with at NIH and my AP biology teacher</p>
<p>Stop freaking out. You’re fine. Not only are you fine, you’re great. RIT has about a 69% acceptance rate, and unless the program you’re applying to is uber-competitive (even if it is, I’d say you’re in because of the NIH work and all your APs), I’d say you have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>So you think RIT cares more about numbers (ie GPA, test scores)? because I literally have zero extracurricular activities or clubs (technically the NIH thing is part of my course load, I take only 2 classes at school then I go to NIH for the remainder of the school day)</p>
