1960 – 1964

Choosing RPI

by Herbert K Schneider

Seven of our 1960 Norwalk, CT high school graduating class, including myself, were accepted at both RPI and MIT. All of us (independently) chose RPI! I felt that RPI was a better choice for undergraduate education: engineering, but to pursue an advanced degree in other disciplines. My choice of RPI was directly responsible for my acceptance into General Electric's prestigious training program and the advancement of my career in management for the next several decades.
