Heads up: RPI requires a minimum 1440 math and reading score with no exceptions. Also, research is a must! I know of one or two people who did not have GREAT/SIGNIFICANT research, but they had amazing grads and stats (think 2400 on SAT, 4.0 GPA, 800 on subject tests, ect.) Unless you think you fall under that category, research is the way to go. In my freshman (now sophomore - yay!) class, there were 13 people and most have competed at INTEL ISEF, published articles in Nature and/or other peer reviewed journals, and have amazing grades/stats in addition to leadership roles and starting various clubs and sports. It is going to be a challenge, since this is one program where perfect scores will not be enough to guarantee an acceptance but rather research will be what gets you in. So look for a lab and try not to annoy the professor too much
