<p>I don’t think that many people drop out of our school. There may be a few notable dropouts but they are more the exception than the norm. We have a fairly high retention rate and this school is definitely rigorous but the workload is probably similar to RPI and other top50 schools (can’t judge them since haven’t been there). It is a good school and there are a fair share of intelligent people here and the environment is good for nerds.</p>
<p>You are almost in for sure but al6200’s calculations might be a bit off. i had a 3.7X uwgpa and a 2210 and got 18k… the scholarships go down each year as the enrollment (class size) increases due to a larger needs-based aid pool. The school is trying to grow an gain a national reputation so they can rely less on merit aid to attract applicants and meet more demonstrated need. They used to give out a lot more full rides than they do now (confirmed information). 32 ACT is good but it is just somewhat over the average (around 30). You can expect at least around 15k and can prb. get more by matching with rpi, northeastern and other peer schools that give out more merit. Your stats are excellent but there are quite a few valedict/salut-atarians here at WPI and they get on ave. 20k. If you want a “full ride”, you are better off looking at second tier state school.</p>
