Here’s how I look at it: retention and four year graduation rates, followed by admission stats!

RIT:
First Year Student Retention (full-time students): 89%
4-Year Graduation Rate: 27%
6-Year Graduation Rate: 63%
Test Scores – 25th / 75th Percentile
SAT Critical Reading: 540 / 650
SAT Math: 570 / 680
SAT Writing: 520 / 630

RPI:
First Year Student Retention (full-time students): 94%
4-Year Graduation Rate: 60%
6-Year Graduation Rate: 84%Test Scores – 25th / 75th Percentile
SAT Critical Reading: 610 / 700
SAT Math: 660 / 760
SAT Writing: 590 / 690

RPI wins and wins by $20,000 in my book. Just the cost of an extra year makes RPI the winner.
