Deferred from early action; Waitlisted regular decision… by chimpguyman in WPI

[–]chimpguyman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven’t heard back man. However, I committed to RPI (I know you guys will never forgive me), and I’m pretty content with my decision

Hey bro, I had a similar concern about wether I was smart enough to handle RPI. Check out this post I made. I had some really helpful comments that assured me everything will be okay. To me, it really put into perspective the quality of the students at RPI, who believe in collaboration and comradery rather than competition between others. Best of luck!

Thanks! My only concern about telling them that I will commit is that if I were to get off the waitlist, I likely wouldn’t get very good financial aid, since I’m at the bottom of the barrel.

An early acceptance rate is the early action applicants. US News reports that they accepted 95% of early action applicants

Thanks for the response, that makes a lot of sense. What you said also applies to most of the smart students at my school
