<p>Just for your information, Enrique, this is a 3-day holiday weekend (Memorial Day) so traffic on CC may be light!
Do you need financial aid?</p>

4

<p>I dont need it, because I could probably find sponsors or loans in my country, but it certanly wouldnt hurt. Neverthelss aid is not an important factor for me.</p>

<p>If you’re applying for an Engineering major then you won’t get into any of these schools. If you apply for Econ or business, on the other hand, I think you might get something like this:</p>

<p>Georgia Tech- Don’t know.
University of Florida-In
Carnegie Mellon- Most probably in. If you don’t apply for aid because they dont offer aid to internationals.
University of Illinois Urbana Champaing-In
Notre dame- Maybe in
Purdue-In
Rice-Possible</p>
