<p>Since you’re an international applicant, do you need to take the TOEFL? While I’m not familiar with minimum GRE scores, I do know that some places have a minimum TOEFL score requirement. </p>
<p>Financial support will be minimal, if any, for a MS student, unless you’re a TA or RA. </p>
<p>There are plenty of good civil engineering schools out there. A good place to start looking would be the US News graduate school rankings. There’s a listing in a post on the Engineering Forum of this site. I don’t think anything is out of reach for you, though it will be tougher to get funding. </p>
<p>If by CIT, you mean Caltech, I think it’s a relatively poor school for civil engineering graduate studies, especially if you plan on going into industry and not academia. It’s very research based, and there’s only earthquake engineering there. I’m not sure what area of civil engineering you’re looking to study…</p>
