I did not do good in high school and never took SATs but i think i am doing pretty good in college so my friends advised me to consider some good schools for Electrical Engineering. I am posting here my stats please chance me. Advises are appreciated.

<p>UMich is notorious for having the highest out-of-state tuition so I don’t know if you want to pay 36 grand for a public school…
Cornell Engineering is crazy competitive and the acceptance rate is around 6% for transfers. You could try for Columbia but all Ivies and anything similar such as Stanford are going to be looking for significiant hooks along with a 4.0 GPA and high SAT scores.</p>

<p>The thing with Columbia is their curriculum is very liberal art oriented and the graduates usually end up working in non engineering fields.
Yes UMich is kind of expensive for a public school but their engineering schools is one of the top schools in nation so i dont think it’d be bad deal.</p>
