Announcements
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions would like to thank all students, faculty, and staff who volunteered at the Accepted Student Celebration on March 22. Seeing everyone come together to support our yield efforts was very appreciated by all, especially accepted students and their families. We look forward to doing it again on April 12!

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions has announced that Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has renewed the test-optional admissions policy for another year. Any student who applies to attend RPI as an undergraduate in the fall of 2026 will be able to choose whether or not to submit SAT or ACT scores. Students applying to the Physician-Scientist Program (in conjunction with Albany Medical College) will be required to submit the appropriate testing.

Award-winning TV series shares authentic student stories while highlighting the college experience.

Now online, the IBM quantum system will expand the longstanding RPI and IBM partnership to accelerate quantum computing research, workforce development, and education in New York.

The Admissions Building at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has been named in honor of Dr. Nancy Deloye Fitzroy ’49 — the first woman to graduate from the Institute with a degree in chemical engineering — and her husband and fellow engineer, the late Roland V. Fitzroy Jr.
