Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) evaluates applicants based on academic performance, standardized test scores, and extracurricular involvement. A strong high school GPA, typically 3.0 or higher, is preferred. SAT or ACT scores are considered but are optional for some programs due to test-optional policies.
Program-specific prerequisites may include coursework in math, science, or arts, depending on the major. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE scores. Letters of recommendation and a personal statement are often required. Transfer students need prior college credits with a minimum GPA of 2.5-3.0, varying by program.
