How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Rochester Institute of Technology admits about 66.9% of applicants. The middle range of SAT scores for admitted students falls between 1,300 and 1,460, and ACT scores typically fall between 29 and 33. Among enrolled undergraduates, 27.2% receive Pell Grants and 19.5% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment is modest, at 8.7%. Azimuth ranks Rochester Institute of Technology #300 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access ranking reflects Rochester Institute of Technology's enrollment profile: a selective admissions process paired with a relatively small share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students. At a private institution with substantial tuition, the number of low-income undergraduates remains limited compared with broad-access public universities. The six-year graduation rate is 69.9%, and the Pell completion rate is 61.9%. Azimuth ranks Rochester Institute of Technology #298 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. For graduates from low-income backgrounds, median earnings reach $62,100 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing Rochester Institute of Technology in the 86.5 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The pattern reflects Rochester Institute of Technology's engineering-focused curriculum and strong employer recruitment in technical fields: low-income students who gain admission complete at high rates and move into careers with durable earnings trajectories. The mobility ranking captures both the quality of outcomes for this cohort and the scale at which the institution serves low-income students — a smaller absolute number, but with consistently strong post-graduation results.
