RIT-ONLY DELIVERS THE BEST

I applied only for RIT as I came as a transfer student. I have limited options, and I have also decided to come in last minute, so only RIT has its applications open for transfer. So, I applied and got RIT. And it took me 30-45 days to complete the whole process. Also, I think my resume is somewhat strong for a bachelor's at that time, so I got it. Also, I came to VIT Vellore. As mentioned, I applied only for RIT and was accepted into it. So I have no choice, so I came here, but the admission process is very, very slow to make their decision. It took over 3 weeks, and I got an average scholarship, not too high or too low. Also, I gave the TOEFL test, and the minimum score should be 80+ for them to accept and take; if not, they will accept in some cases and give you an English course here at RIT, which is the worst thing one can do. The overall admission process is Average, and the process is very slow. I applied for Fall'24 intake as I ama transfer student, and mine is last last-minute decision. I applied on june last week and got my decision by July 3rd. And I have my visa on August 1st week and flight to Rochester in August 3rd week. I requested them so many times to expedite the process, as I can go to the visa office and book my visa slot. They made my decision fast for the reason I have stressed them....Read More

I am happy about my degree at RIT, but it varies with different programmes. I can talk about my course, which is Cybersecurity. They have the impressive club called RITSEC for developing and researching on Security field. I would recommend anyone for this particular field. But a thing to consider is that it is a private institution and the tuition is high. IELTS 8.0 GRE: 110 CGPA min: 8.2 and above...Read More

I applied for the following universities: KTH Royal Institute of Technology - Admitted KU Leuven - Admitted Hong Kong University - Admitted Arden University (Berlin Campus) - Admitted Chalmers Institute of Technology - Shortlisted (then rendered null and void) Linköping University - Shortlisted (then rendered null and void) RWTH Aachen - Rejected Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST) - Rejected Norwegian University of Science & Technology - Rejected Aalto University - Rejected ETH Zurich - Rejected Swiss Federal Technology Institute of Lausanne (EPFL) - Rejected The universities which have "Admitted" next to their names were the ones which I received a confirmed admission. Likewise, those which have "Rejected" next to them were the ones from which I got a rejection. Mind you that my applications for the above listed universities were all for the August-September intake of 2019, so a lot may have changed since then. I do not think I can pinpoint any specific reason as to why I got rejected by those stated in the aforementioned list. It could have been for different reasons - the most likely would be either a lack of professional experience or due to knowledge and skills gaps which my Bachelor degree education did not cover. Especially in the case of the latter, this could have resulted in me being less of a match to the respective programme requirements of those universities as compared to others. Having some European universities in there, what could have also contributed to my rejections was not having the minimum proficiency of the respective European language which is most strongly associated to that particular country (as that is always advantageous). It was a passion of mine to play my role in facilitating the transition to climate neutral, green energy. Since 2018, I wanted to look to contribute in finding innovative solutions to the energy industry’s most challenging problems as well as learn and grow alongside experienced industry experts. When I found out about the MSc in Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE) at KTH, it came to my mind that it was the ideal stepping stone for me to specialise as a Mechanical engineer with a focus on sustainable, renewable energy. I chose KTH - and the SEE MSc - since it equipped me with skills, knowledge and insights into leadership, industrial challenges, innovation and entrepreneurship in the energy field. The programme provided an atmosphere and learning environment that fosters global responsibilities and sustainable development. Additionally, the emphasis is placed on dealing with energy engineering tasks with due consideration of technical, environmental and socio-economic issues. Again, the following below is from my recollection for the 2019 intake (so a lot could have changed since then)!!!!!! As far as the accepted exams go, I took the IELTS only - and I would say to have a minimum score of 7.0 overall. One could take the TOEFL too. For Swedish universities, I had to create an account on the "University Admissions" website. I did this in October 2018. Logging into my account, I submitted all my documents - CV, cover letter, transcripts (Class 10, Class 12, Bachelors) and Bachelor degree certificate - into my online file. For KTH specifically, they had a "Supplementary Sheet" Excel template which I had to fill out, detailing common courses relating to my Bachelors degree and the number of hours I studied those respectively. I remember ranking my universities in terms of my preference of admission. The idea of the online file was that all universities I wanted to apply to had access to my required documents. Once the mid-January deadline in 2019 passed, KTH started their review (as it was my first choice) - and I heard nothing from them or any of the other Swedish universities till early April that year, when KTH sent me the admission letter. Because I got admission into my first choice university in Sweden, my other two application requests to Chalmers and Linköping were rendered null and void. I also did not have any sort of admission interview either - whether by video or telephone. My takeaway was despite the application itself and submission of documents happening smoothly, it would have been good to not have waited that long for a big decision. Application statuses and other information could have been mentioned to me by the university itself or either the "University Admissions" team whenever I sent email queries during the waiting time. I applied to the August 2019 intake (as mentioned before). The main factor influencing my decision was the reputation of Sweden as a world leader championing renewable energy and sustainability. Plus, I had never been to Sweden before - so I looked at it as an opportunity to travel to a new country, make new connections and experience a totally new culture. Coming to KTH, factors included the reputation of the campus itself and its academic programmes, its connections to the industry, the extent of research being carried out in a large variety of fields, the opportunity to take part in different events throughout the year and the diverse, multicultural, international environment I wanted to seek. The admission process lasted from October 2018 to April 2019. It started with the submission of the documents onto my "University Admissions" account in October 2018, as that was when application windows opened. The application deadline for Swedish universities closed in mid-January 2019. The application window for those students looking for scholarships opened from 1st December 2018 and also closed in mid-January 2019 as usual. I received my admission letter on 4th April 2019. Once having accepted the decision, the payment for the first semester fees (SEK 77,500) opened in mid-April 2019 and the deadline for that was 31st May 2019....Read More

The program I selected is extremely rigorous and well-known, which will help me get a quality job upon graduation. My financial aid award was excellent, and the school is generally very good, making it a clear choice. My college is a journey of discovery - learning more about myself, my field, and my future. While there have been some challenges along the way, the college has helped me to grow as a person and I feel equipped with the skills I need to be successful, in my field and life. Everything is available to me at my school - there is no class I cannot take, no research I cannot do, and no activity I cannot participate in. Everything is there for me....Read More

I just wanted to do a major in a very niche course. My options were Michigan state university, Clemson University and Rochester Institute of technology. I applied only at Rochester Institute of Technology and the main factors were the industrial tie ups and the placement scenarios. Research opportunities were also an important consideration for me. So I went ahead with RIT and only applied to that college I chose RIT as I had a waiver on GRE. They just required an IELTS score of more than 7 and decent experience in the field of packaging. main factors were the industrial tie ups and the placement scenarios. Research opportunities were also an important consideration for me. So I went ahead with RIT and only applied to that college. Admission process was very smooth, they had counsellors and student reps assigned at every step and also had orientations when we reached the campus. I applied to the Fall 2024 intake. I wanted to leave as soon as I finished my undergraduate so I went with fall 2024. From applying till the decision all this took around 1 month and then I had my decision letter sent on the uni portal. Application was very easy. They asked about all the exams, language proficiency, LoRs, SOPs, Resume and other documents. After initial review, decision was made and sent through portals  ...Read More
