Editor's notes
- Pick your plan with ED's math in mind. RIT says Early Decision applicants stand out in a smaller pool and see higher acceptance rates, 'especially for competitive majors,' and in fall 2025 it admitted 1,028 of 1,405 ED applicants. If RIT is your clear first choice and the aid works, ED I or ED II is worth a hard look.
- You're applying to a major, so your transcript gets read against that major. RIT says it expects computer science applicants to be strong in math and art applicants to show talent in a portfolio, and the accepted ranges in its guide differ by college. Check your college's math and science requirements before you list a program.
