<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm an environmental engineering student at University of Windsor in Canada. </p>

<p>Here are my stats</p>

<p>3.9/4.0 GPA
5 internal scholarships + 1 external scholarship
3 co-authored publications </p>

<p>I also did the Canadian equivalent of an REU this summer.
I haven't taken GREs yet because I haven't really considered American schools until this point. I'm not sure what I'll get in them. </p>

<p>I was wondering if I have a chance at a top american school like MIT, Caltech, Carnegie Melon, Cornell etc.</p>

<p>Please keep in mind that Windsor is not a very well known school so I'm wondering how much that will hurt my chances.</p>

<p>oh i forgot to ask about funding. </p>

<p>What kind of funding will i get if I get accepted?</p>

<p>I don’t really have much money and i know that I can get paid a decent amount if I choose to stay in Canada.</p>

<p>Your research and GPA are golden. If you can get good GREs and some good recommendations, I’d say you’re alright.</p>

<p>As far as funding goes, you should be alright in environmental engineering, particularly if you’re going for your PhD.</p>

<p>[This is speculative. Those are good schools on your list.]</p>

4

<p>can anyone give me a list of a few reach, match and safety schools I should consider?</p>

5

<p>i believe berkeley has a great program for environmental engineering</p>

6

<p>stanford is #1 in environmental engineering and it’s really easy to get into the masters program. don’t expect any funding until you get into the phd program though.</p>

7

<p>berkeley and stanford and great schools for sure but do you guys think I have a real shot at them?</p>

8

<p>bump anyone?</p>

<p>Depends a lot on your GRE scores. They had better be good.</p>

<p>Your stats are impressive and barring a GRE meltdown, you have a good shot at any top university.</p>
