If you choose to submit scores to RSI, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for retakes and possible superscoring. For RSI’s earliest application deadline, plan on the last fall SAT or ACT whose scores are released before that deadline as your final usable retake.

What you'll actually pay
RSI is a private for-profit institution, so tuition policies and aid options may differ from public colleges. Review the net price, available grants or scholarships, and payment options to understand what you may actually pay.

The Refrigeration School’s total cost of attendance includes tuition and fees plus living expenses, books, supplies, and other program-related costs. Because RSI is a private for-profit institution, what students actually pay can vary by program choice, housing plans, and financial aid eligibility. Students should compare their aid offer with estimated living costs to understand the out-of-pocket cost.
