<p>I'm an international student studying in Middle East. My high school does not offer any AP Honors but the classwork is AP level. I'm in top 5-6% of the class with over 150 students in total. I want to be an electrical engineer.</p>

<p>My scores are:
SAT: 1910
TOEFL: 105
SAT Subject: Math Lvl2: 790, Physics: 780, Chemistry: 760
High school offers no gpa after class 10
Class 9 gpa: 9.8 (out of 10)
Class 10 gpa: 10 (out of 10)
Class 11 and Class 12 are on the basis of percentile. So even a 70% student can get A if class avg is low.</p>

<p>Your SAT is too low for several of these schools (UMich, GATech,UIUC, UCLA, UPENN, CMU and Cornell) for engineering. You won’t get into those schools.</p>

<p>Purdue and Penn State are your best chances.</p>

<p>I don’t know about UT or Uminn.</p>

<p>I don’t know where you got the percentile data. Your SAT is far below the 25th percentile at UMich (2040 last year). It would be a reach for you.
Engineering at UIUC is as competitive and would be a reach for you too. Indeed, most of the schools on your list are reaches. You do need to find some matching schools.</p>
