I'm curious about my chances of getting into RPI if I apply regular decision. Does anyone have any info on what the acceptance rate is for regular decision applicants at RPI?
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has grown increasingly competitive in recent years. Although the university does not officially release acceptance rates specifically for Regular Decision (RD), the overall acceptance rate is around 43% as of recent years. Please keep in mind that this percentage includes both Early Decision (ED) and Regular Decision applicants, and acceptance rates tend to be slightly higher for ED applicants due to the binding commitment.
To increase your chances of admission to RPI, make sure your application showcases your strengths and interest in the school. RPI is known for its commitment to STEM fields, so highlight your academic achievements, relevant extracurricular activities, and any work experience in related fields, if applicable. Good luck with your application!
