I think RIT can give good merit. And while most people there are STEM majors, they have a nice arts program as well. It’s got a very unique (and we thought charming) vibe – quirky is the norm there. Deaf culture is completely incorporated into RIT. I would encourage OP to investigate it fully before ruling it out. Last year their supplemental essay was super easy, so I don’t think it would hurt to throw in an app. The only reason my son didn’t seriously consider attending was because it didn’t offer one of his possible majors.
