<p>i don’t have permanent residence… our family is just on a E-2 business visa so im technically an international… and i get no aid from govt or anything like that… :(</p>
<p>the thing is that cornell and Cal are both top in engineering programs and i wanted to see if these impacted majors would affect my admission by a great measure… and if my stats are even good enough for these ivy-league schools and such…</p>
<p>you might be able to be considered in the domestic pool, I’ve heard “internationals” who have lived here for years and was able to be put in there.</p>
<p>If you are international and applying for aid, that DEFINITELY will hurt you. considerably… but im not sure if youre international or not?</p>
<p>Taking out considerations of international/aid and on stats alone:
Cornell-high match
UCBerkeley-match
Brown-high match
Northwestern-match
Stanford-reach
ALL ENGINEERING</p>
