Hey guys, I'm super interested in applying to Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Anyone knows what the average GPA for admitted students is? Just trying to gauge my chances of getting in. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) has a fairly selective admissions process, and it's great that you're considering your chances. The average GPA for admitted students at RIT is around a 90-96 on a 100 scale for high school students. Keep in mind that this is just an average, so you'll find students with both higher and lower GPAs getting admitted.
It's important not just to focus on your GPA but also to consider your course rigor, extracurriculars, and other factors that will be a part of your application. RIT will look at your entire profile, including the types of courses you've taken (honors, AP, or IB), your extracurricular involvement, and any other relevant experiences to gain a holistic understanding of you as an applicant.
While GPA is an essential part of your application, don't forget that RIT is also test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, meaning you don't have to submit SAT/ACT scores if you prefer not to. However, if you feel your test scores would strengthen your application, you might consider including them.
Best of luck with your application to RIT!
