ASU/Barretts - International Student - Urgent Help

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Dear CC members ,</p>

<p>I am Indian . I intend to come to the US for higher education . I dream of studying at universities such as Stanford/UC-Berkley/UCLA for my undergrad but my grades and my especially my SAT score are not sufficient to get into these universities. My list now includes ASU (and Barrett's) which is a decent university for engineering . I want to know more about the university and especially about Barrett's. What are the facilities they provide to engineering students , how is the quality of education ? , how are the internships ?. What kind of a job I would get if I graduate from ASU ? and what kind of graduate admissions am i looking at ? (can I get into Stanford at least for my Graduate degree) , Finally , What will I be missing out on ? </p>

<p>I wanted to know my chances at ASU and Barret's and what else I would require in order to gain admission into both as an international freshman. </p>

<p>I know it is advised not to enter a college with a mind of transferring to other universities but I want to like ASU and make the most of it . I will try to transfer to my dream schools though. </p>

<p>It would be helpful of you people to suggest universities for me. </p>

<p>Intended School :- </p>

<p>Arizona State University and Barrets - Honors college</p>

<p>Intended Major :- </p>

<p>That SAT score will probably not get you into ASU Honors.</p>

<p>ASU (and perhaps the University of Arizona) are both places where you may gain admittance (though probably not to the Honors programs). Budget cuts are a problem in Arizona, but that should just make them even more likely to take a full-pay international student.</p>

<p>Also look at the University of Utah.</p>

<p>Regarding transfers, I would listen to Terrence Tao:

What is your gender? Some private tech schools may be happy to take you regardless of the SAT scores if you are a girl.</p>

<p>Gender : Female . </p>

<p>Bump for more suggestions.</p>
