Engineering College Chances

Applying to College
1

<p>I am an international student am applying to engineering colleges. I am currently enrolled in the GCE A Level program and I have taken all the courses required for an engineering major. I have a GPA of about 4.5, ACT Score: 29, SAT Math 2: 720, SAT Physics: 760 and TOEFL: 109. Apart from these, I have done about 100 hours of community service and have a decent list of extra curricular activities. My teacher and counselor recommendations are also quite good. Which engineering colleges will I be able to get into?</p>

<p>I have also applied for financial aid but I am quite doubtful about getting any aid. My parent's real estate value is alone about $ 800000. My cousins, who have almost similar possessions, did not get any aid. Do I have any chance of getting an aid?</p>

<p>What type of school are you interested in? Top tier schools or safety schools? East, West, Mid-west? Need some more information</p>

<p>I am mainly focusing at top tier schools and some safety schools. Any place will do.</p>

<p>If you want top tier engineering colleges then MIT and Caltech should be your first two, but just know that they are highly selective.</p>

<p>@Alabo21: thanks for the help! I know that the colleges are highly selective and hard to get into but I guess I should at least try. Who knows? I may even get in.</p>
