If you decide to go to RIT, go and visitOct 15 2010Electrical Engineering
If you decide to go to RIT, go and visit. Talk to students, not to the administration. Meet with your future department head, and interview with him; you not only will have a better chance of being accepted, but you also will have a better understanding of how your next 4-5 years will be.

Show that you want to go the extra mileNov 30 2006Art & Design Department
Show that you want to go the extra mile in your major. The tech majors have all had interships or jobs in their fields, and the art majors have all taken classes outside of school. Know your feild well and know why RIT will help you. Even though there is no interview, showing that you really want to go there will be evident in your application.

I had to present a portfolio and have anAug 31 2006Design Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc
I had to present a portfolio and have an interview in addition to the normal application process. If you honestly want to attend this school, make a good presentation of yourself and your work. Let RIT know that you have the financial means to attend the school (they do enjoy their money), as well as dedication to your coursework.
SAT: 1350 Female
Be yourself, offer everything, and treat anyJun 30 2006Design Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc
Be yourself, offer everything, and treat any interview as a random person you just met rather than someone deciding your future.
SAT: 1180 Female
I had a 1410 on my SATsDec 15 2004Computer Science
I had a 1410 on my SATs. I don't know my gpa, class rank- all those other numbers. I never did, I was never competative for the numbers. If you want to get into Honors housing, bother with the paper work. If you get accepted to a special interest housing as an off floor member, don't bother. If you're worried about being accepted, set up an interview.
