I know kids that attend (or have attended) all 3 schools. The kids I know at WPI and RIT really love it. WPI is on a quarter system which allows engineering/CS students to spend a quarter abroad if they want - something that can be tough for engineering/CS students at schools with the more typical 2 semester system. RIT has a well regarded co-op program which makes it interesting to a lot of students - my friends with tech-y kids say they have really cool labs and machinery. The one kid I know at RPI likes it so far - he is a freshman. According to him it is pretty nerdy but he has found his people so he is enjoying it. He is studying aerospace engineering, I believe. In terms of competitiveness, RIT would be the easiest admit with WPI and RPI similarly selective. I think your daughter would most likely be in at any of the 3.
