<p>Hi to everyone and greetings from Greece. this is my first post. Good to be here...</p>
<p>Recently i gor accepted at the following Universities:</p>
<p>1.Roosevelt University (Network Technology)
2.DePaul University(Network Technology)
3.University of Illinois Chicago (Computer Science)
4. Northeastern University (Computer Science)</p>
<p>My SAT was 1720. TOEFL iBT score was 108 and my high school GPE 3,33 (Evaluated by ECE).</p>
<p>My field of study is Computer Science and specifically Computer Networks (Network Technology) </p>
<p>Actually in high school i was a great student (all As) but a serious family problem caused my grades to go down. I am trying to make a fresh start now.
My final goal is to reach into MIT. That would be a dream coming true for me as well as for my parents.But with my SAT score (I had just one month to prepare) and GPA I had no chance for MIT.
I am planning to try and get into MIT by studying hard and getting all As in my first year at one of the above Us and then apply as a transfer to MIT or take my Bachelor's at one of those and then go for a graduate at MIT.
Here's when your assistance will come in handy:</p>
<p>What university would be the best for me to attend so I can have the best chances to get accepted into MIT?
Is better to go as a transfer or as a Graduate?</p>
<p>Hey there buddy, I don't know about the colleges you have mentioned so I can't give you any advice on which one to attend. However, I've heard a lot about MIT. I heard that being accepted at MIT as a transfer is even tougher than being accepted as a freshman. I heard they take only 4-5 transfer students each year from 1000 or so transfer applicants. So I want to advise you to work really really hard in which ever college you choose to attend. Take honors classes, be involved in research projects with professors if you can and be actively involved in good extracurricular activities. Wish you the best.</p>
<p>hey Fable, i know that it is really harder to get in any well-ranked uni. as transfer student..
but Fable, i wanna tell you one thing: fight for it, fight for MIT, challenge, work hard, as your full-time work, and never give up, and then even if you wouldn't enter MIT, you would tell yourself then:Fable, i tried to get into MIT, but i got only Stanford..)) its a joke, but who knows, who knows, all is possible.
god bless you Fable.</p>
<p>Thank you very much all of you. It is really precious to be given strength from people that go through the same procedure as you. I will follow your advices and work as hard as I can. And maybe, who knows, in a couple of years I maybe come back here and announce the untouchable, my admission to MIT...Thank you again...</p>
<p>I think UIC.. It actually has a really great reputation in the states.
I did an internship at Northwestern last summer (which would be even better if you could get in) ... and I got to visit UIC...Greek town is really really close to the campus. Plus school is a metro ticket to downtown.
I know it sounds like I am suggesting it for frivolous reasons but honestly and truely coming from the states I know UIC has a better rep than Northeastern.
It is known as the school where fun goes to die... lol...</p>
<p>ice_sickle007, aren't you actually talking about the University of Chicago? ('Fun goes to die' is definitely UChicago, not UIC.) Which is a very, very different school indeed, and far more respected.</p>
<p>Are you talking about Northeastern IL University or Northeastern University in MA? Northeastern IL U is not considered to be that good of a school.
You can't go wrong with either UIC or DePaul. They are both rated fairly well.</p>
<p>I would recommend Northeastern University in Boston. It has great Co-op program that allows you to work during your study (six month studying six month working) it is great practice.</p>
<p>UIC seems to be the best one on your list. It's not the University of Chicago, as ice_sickle seems to be implying above, but nonethless has a pretty good reputation.</p>
<p>And of course it would be a bit easier getting admission as a graduate student than as a transfer. But of course still hard.</p>
<p>I am back.
UIC is University of Illinois Chicago wich is a very different schoold from the University of Chicago.
I will weigh the probabilities and see what will do.
Your opinions are priceless....</p>
