<p>I am a prospective UG student applying for civil engineering course. Out of- Purdue, Duke, Virginia Tech, USC, Which one do I apply and do ED, maybe? Suggest a choice rank? And new uni suggestion is welcomed?</p>
<p>You started several threads, all with the same questions.</p>
<p>YET…you provided NO information…so what advice are you expecting??</p>
<p>Are you a citizen or international?</p>
<p>Will your parents pay all costs for Purdue or VT? Will they pay whatever USC and Duke say that they should pay? </p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>I don’t know about the others but Purdue does not have ED. They have Early Action which is necessary to be considered for the merit scholarships.</p>
<p>I don’t think the other schools you’re considering are quite in Duke’s league even as far as engineering is concerned.</p>
<p>Kualakoala: by what standard do you make that statement? Using US News rankings Purdue is 9th overall in Engineering, VT 15th and Duke 18th. I would say any of the programs the OP mentioned would be tremendous programs.</p>
<p>When you say USC, are you talking about the University of Southern California or the University of South Carolina? </p>
<p>There won’t be huge differences between accredited engineering programs. Often it’s the state universities that have the strongest engineering programs.</p>
<p>Where are you hoping to live? Engineering is one of those majors where many firms like to hire locally for new hires (meaning within a state or two). Where I live, Virginia Tech (or Penn State) would be highly favored. If international, any of those degrees should command respect.</p>
<p>Sorry, I am a first timer.</p>
<p>So I am International Freshman applying.
I would want to know whether to do ED in VT or not. But don’t consider or ask scores etc.
Many of my first choice like UIUC, U Mish, Berkley doesn’t have ED. But i don’t have good SAT.
So, i thought of doing ED VT. (VT, Purdue, University of Southern California, Duke out of my possible high reach)
But, as VT is not in SC. I would like to know whether if i do ED in VT, then pay 400$ by 15 Jan. And then would other Common App, And other Application process go on. And would i get to know If i got in the uni??</p>
<p>Help Please</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>You don’t want to provide scores.</p>
<p>you don’t have a good SAT</p>
<p>I hope that your family is willing to pay ALL costs, otherwise none will work.</p>
<p>If VT has ED, then it would let you know in Dec. If you get accepted and your parents will pay, then deposit. Then you will not be submitting any more apps.</p>
<p>If you’re an International without English as your first language, you might get a little bit of a pass on the Reading and Writing sections of the SAT. However, if your math score isn’t decently high (esp on SAT Math2), I’d caution against even trying engineering.</p>
<p>My scores in Maths is 710*
I gave the recent SAT. Hoping 600* or up in both CR and W.</p>
<p>Is DUKE eng. Program good?</p>
<p>Any of the four you listed will be fine to be honest.</p>
<p>CMU or DUKE? for civil engineering. ED??</p>
<p>SAT is okay-ish 1900-2000* types.
Will Give SAT2 Maths 2 Physics . Hopeful of scoring 700+ And And, IB predicted 37/45</p>
