The
incoming Class of 2011 is an exceptional group, with the average SAT
score up almost 20 points from the previous year, and more than 65

increase in the number of women, the international profile of the
student body, and those who are interested in new areas of
Rensselaer’s expanding curriculum. |

requirements of tomorrow’s gadgets, implantable medical equipment,
and transportation vehicles. |
