Advices needed!

<p>Hi everybody,</p>

<p>I will finish my Bachelor here in Italy next year and I want to move to US in order to take a M.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering.</p>

<p>Actually my GPA is 3.2. I need to take Toefl and GRE next fall. For the English Test I'm quite confident cause I have a Cambridge CAE (Advanced User).</p>

<p>I've seen something about these schools (in order of my choice by now):</p>

<p>Embry Riddle
Purdue
Texas Austin
Minn Twin Cities
Virginia Tech
Iowa State
Illinois Tech (Armour)
Missouri S&T
West Virginia
Oklahoma State
Kansas State</p>

<p>The price for a year goes from the 22k of Oklahoma to the 34k of Purdue (9 credits each semester).</p>

<p>The lowest graduate engineering acceptance rate (2007) is the one of Iowa State, VT, Texas at AU with 22%, followed by Purdue 33%. The others are about 45%.</p>

<p>Which one would you suggest to me?</p>

<p>How are the possibilities of remaning in the US after a M.Sc. (or eventually a Ph.D.)?</p>

<p>Do you have any suggestions? Help me please! ;)</p>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>Matteo</p>
