Can I get into the elite engineering schools in the US (MIT, Caltech, Stanford, UMich)?

The name of the school may matter to employers in his home country. Since OP will most likely have to return home after graduation that’s probably something he should find out.

@austinmshauri, exactly, and I mentioned perceived cachet overseas in a previous reply. Still, programs are very different.Using rank alone can and has led to unhappy students. It certainly would not be my only vetting tool and wouldn’t be my top factor even for an international student.
