<p>Hi, I'm an international student and I made a list of schools which caught my attentions. I'm thinking about majoring in EE or CE (CS). I'm also thinking about Physics. Anyway, I want to know how these schools will be ranked and want to hear your opinion about the list. </p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon U
Cornell U
Georgia Tech
MIT
Northwestern U IL
Rice U
Stanford U
U Illinois Urbana
U Michigan</p>
<p>P.S: Should these schools (UWm, Johns Hopkins, Princetons, Berkerley) be among the list or did I make a good decesion of leaving out those schools.</p>
<p>University of Wisconsin Madison is very good. Also UT is not bad, Brown has a very good undergraduate comp sci department. How competitive are you as an applicant? You can also try Caltech. And UC Berkeley Comp Sci undergraduate and graduate is one of the absolute best in the county. BSD Unix...</p>
<p>According to the US News and World Report rankings (which should, of course, be taken with a grain of salt), the top programs for electrical engineering are as follows:
1. MIT
1. UC - Berkeley
3. Stanford
4. Univ of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign
5. Caltech
6. Georgia Tech
6. Univ of Michigan - Ann Arbor
8. Carnegie Mellon
9. Cornell
10. Princeton
10. Purdue</p>
<p>For computer engineering, looks like it's all the same schools, just shuffled a little.</p>
<p>Here's my current school grades and other infos about me.</p>
<hr>
<p>My Curriculum right now: (with IB Grades)</p>
<p>English A1 SL - 6
Math HL - 7
Physics HL - 7
Computer Science HL - 7
World History SL - 5
German B Level - 5</p>
<p>My SAT Score is</p>
<p>CR: 700, Math: 800, Writing: 720</p>
<p>SAT II Scores</p>
<p>Math level 2: 800, Physics: 770, Chemistry: 690 (I only took one-year chemistry course in 10th grade)</p>
<p>Extra Curriculums are: Jazz Band Player, Newspaper Editor, Cross-Country Varisty Runner, Softball Varisity, Math Team (from middle school to 11th grade), Maintaining the whole flower Garden for Disabled German people (tough work.. ~_~ ), etc.</p>
<p>My talent would be math and other right-brain activities, as I won AMC 8,10,12 every year in my school and also got gold in British Math Olympic (I don't remember the exact name). I also participated in Western European Math Competition and got like 11th place as I competed with seniors and juniors. (Last Year, I got 4th place in Junior competition)</p>
<p>my stats were kindof similar (no ib's, but all 4/5 on ap...5's on the sciences), 800chem/760phys/720math2c/740wri...no higher level competitions like you, however. i did get honorable mention with the dupont challenge, but i don't know how much of a factor that really was. i got into cmu :).</p>
<p>can't really tell you how much of chances, since i'm assuming you're from germany [edit...just noticed that you already pointed out you were int'l] from some of your ec's. however, i'd say you have at least a pretty good shot.</p>
<p>i think u should keep UT austin in ur list as well . as UT austin is ranked 7 in CE, ranked 11 in EE and if u r going to major in Physics it would be one of the best places to be in.</p>
<p>Uh oh. Well, if you want college credit, that beautiful score on your SL test won't get it. For the most part, they only give you credit for 6's and 7's and sometimes 5's on HL work. Which is unfortunate for us IB students and you since you couldn't take an AP exam like many IB students in America do.</p>
