@Padre13 I have to agree… WPI and RPI’s average SAT scores are very very different. I’m pretty sure WPI has a low 1300 as its average SAT and RPI is like a 1420. Big different in terms of competitiveness, number of applicants, acceptance rates, class metrics, and the overall quality of the students. Judging as though one student was admitted to RPI and rejected from WPI really doesn’t mean much. You can be rejected simply because they don’t think you can pay since WPI considers the money your parents make during the admissions process. RPI less so since it has the money to supply for more students, regardless of ability to pay in some cases, to attend.
