Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology evaluates applicants based on academic performance, standardized test scores, and extracurricular involvement. A strong high school GPA, particularly in STEM courses, is essential. Most admitted students rank in the top 20% of their class.
Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) are considered, though test-optional policies may apply. Competitive applicants typically score above 1200 on the SAT or 26 on the ACT. Letters of recommendation and a personal statement demonstrating passion for engineering or science are also reviewed.
International students must prove English proficiency via TOEFL (minimum 80) or IELTS (6.5). Transfer students need college transcripts and a minimum 3.0 GPA.
