Yes, my kid specifically wanted a 4 year degree for various reasons (not relevant to this thread). They are well aware they’ll need to do a MArch.

How has your kid’s experience been at RPI so far? It was in a “maybe” pile for my D26, and she’s still considering. She’s more an artsy/tech kid, and the school seems very STEM focused, but there are a couple majors that interest her, so she’s still considering.
I have a friend whose daughter is a freshman this year, and she LOVES it and is having the best time.

Big reason for applying to Pitt for my D26 was the rolling admission and ability to hear back really early. I insisted on her applying to one rolling admit school. Pitt was the winner because it’s strong in STEM, has a good honors college, and is relatively convenient to where we are in NJ. She can travel by train, which she preferred - albeit it’s a long train ride. Other big draw for her was their really strong choir, which she wants to continue doing in college. Location in a mid-size city was also a hit. All in all, it met a lot of her requirements for what she wants in a college/city.

There are definitely additional admitted students days - I think they had one in March this year for the class of 2029. If you can’t make one of the admitted students days, look into Blue and Gold days. It’s similar, but it’s open to anyone.
My kid is loving RPI too as a freshman. It is a great school and highly recommend for artsy and STEM kids alike. Great outcomes too!
Also, RPI EA application is free.

I’m 23 and graduated high school in ‘21. I wasn’t ready for college 4 years ago, but I applied 8/1 and found out I got in on 9/11. If there’s anyone else like me who didn’t go to college right after high school and who’s an older freshman, I would love to connect! H2P!

Looking for the typical response time for the Nursing school. Who has heard and when did they apply? Seems like they are taking longer than the business school based on what I am hearing. Thanks
Applied 8/16, portal marked complete 8/19, admitted 9/22 (so 4 weeks 6 days)
Son was accepted tonight (portal updated at 7:20) into Dietrich! STARS submitted 9/9, SAT 9/11, under review 9/12. Best of luck to everyone waiting!!!
