What's a good GPA for RPI?

Hey everybody! Does anyone have an idea of the average GPA for incoming freshmen at RPI? I can't seem to find it online. Any info helps!

Hello! I understand the struggle of trying to find specific admission statistics; they're so crucial but can sometimes be challenging to locate. To answer your question, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's (RPI) tends to see a high school GPA around 3.75 - 3.9 for incoming freshmen, which falls in a highly competitive range. This indicates that students accepted into RPI typically have high academic standards and quite a strong academic profile.

However, keep in mind that although GPA is an essential factor in admissions, RPI does also consider other elements of your applicant profile like your course rigor, extracurricular involvement, and other achievements. For instance, if you've taken plenty of AP courses and earned good grades, that will be taken into account even if your overall GPA dips slightly below this average. Similarly, if you've demonstrated your interests through extracurriculars or projects related to what you want to study, RPI will also favorably look upon that. So, continue to focus on the holistic nature of your application as well, and best of luck on your college journey!
