Hey everyone! I’ve been looking into applying to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and I’d like to know what kind of SAT scores they're looking for. Can anybody share some info on what SAT score range would make me a competitive applicant? If you've already been accepted or rejected, it would be great to hear your stats and insights. Appreciate the help!
Hello! It's great that you are considering RPI as one of your top choices. To provide you with an idea of competitive SAT scores for RPI, I will list the middle 50% score range for recently admitted students. Keep in mind that these scores do not guarantee acceptance or rejection, as RPI takes a holistic approach when evaluating applicants.
As of the most recently available information, the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students at RPI is:
- SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 670-740
- SAT Math: 690-780
This means that 50% of admitted students have scores within these ranges, while 25% scored above these ranges and 25% below. If you can achieve a score within these ranges, you will be considered a competitive applicant in terms of test scores. Aim for the higher end or even above these ranges to further distinguish yourself.
In addition to SAT scores, make sure to focus on building a strong overall application including a high GPA, rigorous coursework, relevant extracurricular activities, and a compelling personal statement. These factors, along with your test scores, will be evaluated as a whole when assessing your application.
Best of luck with your application to RPI!
