Anyone know much about Renssalaer (RPI)? My son just got in there. He wants to study nuclear engineering and try to get a commission through Navy ROTC. He's already accepted for engineering at Univ of Tennessee, Auburn and Embry-Riddle. His first choice is Virginia Tech which has not announced acceptances yet (I think late Feb). We have visited all these schools already.

He applied to RPI on a whim/last minute because someone mentioned they have a strong NE program...they are on the Common App so it was just a couple mouse clicks to apply so he figured "why not".
Didn't expect him to get in there given it's apparent ivy pedigree, but he did...but we know nothing about it. Trying to decide if it's worth a visit.

TIA.
