True doschicos and joedoe, your statements are technically correct but my frustration with what sunnydream said was when he was advising people ‘NOT’ to visit. Here’s his exact wording:
By putting that out there, they may be a marginally acceptable student that may be on the fence about visiting that takes his advice.
The reason why it irks me is because I really believe RPI can be an amazing life changing decision. Believe me, my choice was financially based and although I had RIT, CWU, CMU to choose from who’ve accepted me, as an alternate choice if RPI rejected me, I would not have been able to afford them, so it would have been my safety schools which are no where near the quality of all these named above.
I have lower than average grades and RPI accepted me, if they didn’t I would have been stuck at my local low-level public.
