<p>Financial aid: Does not need any </p>

<p>Applied to(these are my dream ones):
Carnegie Mellon (CIT)- materials engineering- [Early Decision II]
UCLA- civil engineering
Vanderbilt- materials engineering</p>

<p>I know that carnegie mellon is really good for engineering, and so is UCLA....vanderbilt is also all around a good school. Since your an international student, you have less of a chance of getting in than someone with the same states who is a us citizen. you should definetely have some safeties in there.....CM and UCLA look like reaches, and Vandy is probably a high match. I could definetely see you not getting into any of the three, so keep applying!</p>
