<p>Bump. 10char</p>

<p>GATech, Purdue, and OSU don’t have financial aid for internationals, unless you applied for a merit scholarship last month, but I don’t think they have full rides for internationals.</p>

<p>It’s difficult to chance you because you use “participated”. From your “including in the international math olympiad” I’m assumed you ranked/won in many of these. You should give these ranks/wins, because in the US “participated” is an understatement for “was present but didn’t win anything”.</p>

<p>Can you rephrase some of your EC’s?</p>

<p>Re: all the top schools you applied to, you must know that as an international your odds are about 1:20 - at some schools, considering the ED numbers, probably 1:40. All we can say with reasonable accuracy is that final results are unpredictable but you’re highly likely to make the first cut, especially if you were part of the International Math Olympiad Team. (Your other EC’s are impressive, too, and will make a difference.)</p>

<p>That’s the thing… I represented my school there but could not win… Had I won it or at least got a nice rank then it would have made a big difference, so i just thought to mention it. </p>

<p>And ga tech, Purdue, and Ohio state have lower tuition fees which i can manage with some efforts… Btw are these three worthy of that effort, i mean would i get good jobs out of them. Thanks for chances though </p>

<p>If you can afford the cost of GATech etc, look into Virginia Tech, UMN-Twin Cities, SD School of Mining and Tech, MO School of Science and Tech, NM School of Mines and Tech.</p>

<p>Immigration laws are draconian in the US. It’s very rare and difficult to find a job even with an engineering BS. Go to the International Students Forum and look for a thread called “can I escape H1B” or something like that. However the tech schools are probably your best bet.</p>

<p>Word your EC’s as “represented school at…”
Do realize that for HYPSM etc, there will be the actual winners, though.</p>

<p>I was interested in Va Tech but it does support commonapp and i do not want to do the whole procedure again.</p>

<p>I know that its a long shot for HYPSM with participation EC’s still it is worth a try.</p>

<p>Btw what are my chances at RICE with need based aid. ? Thanks again😊</p>
