Resources for Trans folks at Rose

Hey y'all! I am applying to Rose this year as a graduating senior and this is my top choice but I finally accepted I am a trans human being (MtF). I really love everything about rose's academics and campus I am unsure of they are able to help me find resource to start transitioning (I.E HRT). I am unable to find a lot of information and the only information I have really found are from a decade ago. I was hoping someone can help me here thanks! Cheers!

I’m terrified of admissions

I’m a graduating senior, and I’m terrified I might not get in. I know there’s plenty of “will I get admitted?” Posts, and I hate to be annoying, but what are my chances?

I have a 3.8 gpa (weighted), and I scored an 1190 on the SAT. (Not in the average, I’m aware.) I’ve been in a dual credit program since freshman year, and will be graduating high school with an associates degree in general studies.

I’ve worked the same job since freshman year and have become a manager there now (not sure if that’s relevant or impactful in anyway, but I put it on my application because 🤷‍♂️), I’ve been a member of the student council at this dual credit program since I’ve been able to, and I have been part of a mentoring program for the upcoming students of the program. I’m apart of the Ad hoc committee (dance committee) which will be the first this year. I’ve also done some club sports and rec leagues, again which I included because it can’t hurt me.

I also have perfect conduct and perfect attendance, which probably goes without saying lol. Sorry I droned on so much, but if anyone could offer any feedback that would be much appreciated!

Admission Chance?

I have a 31 Act, 3.4Uw/3.7W gpa and what I would consider good eccs such as placing first in the state for an engineering competition essay and being principal chair in regional orchestra as well as other honors bands. My gpa is low due to struggling with english classes and apush. I've taken apush, aplit and lang, physics 1, chemistry, and CalcAb which are all my school offers besides Spanish and art history.

Questions about rose + Alumni fee waiver

  1. Favorite thing about attending rose hulman (perhaps something unique, or interesting that you wouldn't normally see)
  2. Did you participate in any clubs or activities, maybe a hidden jem.

I would also really appreciate an alumni fee waiver if possible.

Fee waivers

I’m a senior about to apply to Rose-Hulman and I was wondering if anyone knows if there’s a way to get fee waivers for the college application? My family doesn’t qualify but I figured I’d try something.

Sorry to be that person but I gotta ask if any alumni have a fee waiver that they are willing to part with? Plus some other questions about engineering and Rose

Hello I am senior looking to apply to Rose for mechanical engineering and was wondering if any alumni still active here had a fee waiver that I could use? While I have you here I was wondering how does rose hulman compare to nc state? I know both are really good engineering schools but wanted to know what exactly makes a school a good engineering school and how that compares. I was also wondering if you wanted a PhD are you supposed to go straight through or are you supposed to work first. I was told that after getting my bachelors to go work and wherever I work would likely pay for my masters and then I could decide if I want a PhD from there. If I want to go into r&d is it worth paying to go straight through school or work somewhere and get a masters through them? Also I never took chemistry but instead took physics is that OK for admissions? Sorry for grammar.

Application Fee Waiver for Track and Field Recruit.

Hello my name is Andrew. I’m a decorated highschool middle distance runner and have been approached by the track and field coach at Rose. I’m hoping to attend Rose for engineering and join the track and field team. Coach suggested I ask alumni on Reddit for a fee waiver code for application. Would any alumni be willing to share their code with me please? Thank you.

Any math majors?

Hello,

I am a high school senior, interested in Rose-hulman. I've loved everything I've seen so far. I want to study applied math though, which I know Rose isn't exactly known for as much? In particular, Rose has around 10 math majors per year, which seems to me like it would limit what the department could do? I like the idea of having a tight-knit community in them major but I am not sure if that would limit what can be done. Another concern is the lack of graduate courses. I have had the opportunity to take math courses through calc i-iii, diff eq, and lin alg, which may or may not transfer. Did you find yourself running out of courses to take?

If anyone here studied math or knows someone who does, I'd love to hear your perspective.

Course Requirements to Apply

Hey guys,

I wanted to apply and saw this: All incoming freshmen must have the following course preparation: 4 years English, 4 years Mathematics, 1 year Chemistry, 1 year Physics, 1 year Biology, 2 years Social Sciences.

I've taken 12 APs, all 4s & 5s, filled out every req above and more (physics c, calc bc) never taken bio--I can't apply?

Tuition for transfer students.

Hey all, I was wondering if there was any transfer students from out of state, and what does your tuition look like if you don't mind? Did most of your courses transfer? For reference I am doing Mechanical Engineering and have taken Physics 1 and 2 and other pre-requites in community college. I emailed my unofficial transcript to try and see if any courses would transfer but I never heard back and I havent emailed again. Is it worth it to go into a little debt for Rose? I am really interested in attending considering I have already been rejected from UT and TAMU down here in Texas with a 3.8 GPA. Thank you Best regards,

Fee waiver/how to use?

Hello. I'd be really grateful to get a fee waiver from any alumni - thank you so so much in advance. Also, I found the olace to enter the code but it isn't really verify the validity of the code soo how do I know if I can still use it or not? Do people only enter code right before submitting?

Women at RHIT, what do you think of the gender ratio?

I'm a HS senior (female) thinking about applying here for Electrical Engineering - is there a specific reason there are so few women, or is just a natural consequence of being both a tech school/a men's school that went co-ed?

Also, are there women's dorms? If so, are they good?

Responses from either gender are appreciated.

Does anyone on campus cut hair?

Going off campus is difficult cuz I don't have a car, but I also need relatively frequent haircuts to stay within Army regs for ROTC. Does anyone know somebody on campus who does cheap haircuts?

Operation Catapult Scholarship

Does anyone know if Rose still offers a scholarship to incoming students who participated in Operation Catapult? I swear I read it at some point but now I don't see if anywhere on the website. Just curious if anyone has any recent experience with this.

Chances of Rose

I was wondering if chances for admission were dimmed by being a transfer student. Here's some context:

My high school did not offer AP's or EC's

I am currently taking Calc and Chem with plans to take physics and bio next semester

Stats:

High school unw. GPA: 4.0

Current unw college GPA: 4.0

SAT: 1440

On one last side note, does Rose-Hulman observe age bias? I'd be younger than expected.

Thanks! :)

Does it hurt my chances if I cannot make a college visit?

I'm an international student currently enrolling in a high school in Illinois. So far I haven't been able to visit any colleges except UChicago although I'm not even applying. I can't drive, and my relatives (who I'm living with) can't take time to drive me so all I have done is virtual tours and a couple videos on YouTube. Does it hurt my chances that I haven't made a visit to Rose?

For context, I have good grades at school (4.0 UW), a 1540 SAT, okay ECs, and a decent essay. I believe I have a good recommendation letter from my chemistry teacher as well. My biggest concern is cost of admission (budget ~$40K)
