<p>I'm looking for Engineering Colleges similar to Georgia Tech and Purdue that aren't Ivy or Pseudo-Ivy Colleges... And don't say U of I because I've lived in Illinois for 17 years and I want to leave.</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>Act: 35

5 AP Calc BC</p>
<p>Future AP:</p>
<p>Music Theory
Physics Mechanics
Physics Electricity

<p>Nice resumé. Good job.</p>
<p>have you run the net price calculators at Purdue, Illinois, and GT to determine what your family will be expected to pay? do that and show your parents the results and see what they say. </p>
<p>Cost is usually the most important factor in where one should apply. </p>
<p>?
Are you looking for colleges similar to Purdue and GT because those are too expensive for an OOS student? Or are you just looking for more schools to apply to?</p>
<p>You would likely get about $10k in merit from Purdue. It’s an unknown if you would get anything from GT since their awards are highly competitive and unpredictable. </p>
<p>Have you asked your parents how much they can spend each year? Even UIUC can be pricey since it gives little/no aid and little/no merit.</p>
<p>What area of Eng’g interests you?</p>
<p>There are a number of schools that have very good eng’g…UMich, PSU, OSU, Cal, UCLA, UT, TAMU, Iowa St and so forth…nearly every flagship has very good eng’g…and a number of privates do, too…Stanford, USC, SCU, WashU, CMU, and so forth.</p>
<p>We need more info. We need your family’s budget. We need to know what atmosphere you prefer (quiet, rah rah, cold climate, warm climate, rural, city, male/female ratio, etc)</p>
<p>Lehigh? Worcester Polytechnic? RPI? Northeastern? </p>
<p>Rochester, Bucknell, Lafayette, Villanova? </p>
<p>Olin College by Boston.
PSU has good engineering
Villanova is superb</p>
<p>How far away from Illinois do you want to go?</p>
<p>Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is in Terre Haute, Indiana. You would probably get an excellent scholarship there. RH is highly respected, and relatively small.</p>
<p>Also, do you know what branch of engineering you are most interested in? Some excellent schools do not have, say, civil engineering (e.g. U. Rochester and Tulane).</p>
<p>You might take a look at Cooper Union in NYC (unless you don’t like NYC). Highly regarded. Used to have free tuition, but not any more. Still has excellent scholarships; currently all students get 50% tuition reduction as the school transitions to charging tuition for the first time.

Hi, My son is an international student in his sophomore year. He aims to do his Bio medical Engg, from a good college. Does any school offer scholarship or financial aid for International students? Secondly, he is doing his AP Bio and AP World History this year, with Algebra(Hons) and Chemistry(Hons). With Bio medical Engineering( or a dual degree) in mind, which of the AP courses are necessary/recommended for his junior and senior years? Could AP Chemistry wait( He’s struggling with Chem Hons.)? Please advice, thank you!
Hello, welcome. It is usual to start your own new thread instead of posting under someone else’s question because his question is about not staying in his home state. Use the orange ‘New Discussion’ button. For questions about international students look in that forum, for Financial aid you can see posts in that forum, there is a section called Admissions for questions about what are good classes for admission. Do a bit of reading because some of these questions are talked about, then post your own new discussion question. Probably you will want to post a couple of different questions in the forums.Thanks.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon…

Do UMich or Wisc give aid to int’ls? @IowaParent15
If he’s struggling with honors Chem, then if he’s going to take AP Chem, he should take it next year while it’s still fresh in his mind. IF he were to wait, he’d forget and struggle more.
Why biomedE major? That is a very limiting major and isn’t very marketable for jobs? MechE and ChemE are far more marketable after undergrad and are also gateways into BioMedE for grad school (if grad school is desired)…
How much aid do you need? How much can you pay?
What are his stats? His stats will largely determine whether he has a chance at schools that give need-based aid to int’ls or merit.
I was responding to the OP, not the “new question”. Thx
