In summary, the speaker is a high school senior considering attending RIT for physics, if they do not get accepted to MIT. They are also open to hearing about others' experiences at RIT for different majors. Another person mentions applying to RIT and not receiving scholarship money, and expresses interest in the biology department's research. The speaker asks for input from anyone else.

I'm currently a senior in high school and am planning on going to RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) granted that I do not get accepted to MIT. At the moment, I plan to major in physics and probably minor in mathematics.

Basically, I'm just curious if there is anyone here that is or has been part of the physics program at RIT. Or if you attended RIT, but not for physics, I'm still grateful to hear your input about the school, as it's currently my #2 choice.

Thanks

I apped there, and received no scholarship money, however I didn't send a midyear report. I think they really like those things. That and RPI were my 'tech' school choices. I liked the research their Biology dept was doing, but I don't know much about Physics.
