<p>You can only apply early decision to 1 school, by the way. It’s early action you’re probably thinking about. </p>
<p>But you’re probably right - lots of schools will probably want you just to increase the number of countries they can say attend (and you also have a good academic record). I’m sure there are schools that offer engineering that will be more than willing to offer you scholarships, so don’t count those out yet!</p>
<p>(Side note - it sounds like you must have awesome life experiences! Very cool)</p>
