<p>Hi, I'm an international student from Bangaldesh. I completed my GCE-A levels on 2011.
I need you guys to suggest some top tier universities which have spring intakes for engineering/computer science. My stats are listed at the bottom of this post. </p>
<p>Schools that offer generous fin.aid/grants/scholarships would be much helpful since my father has occurred a huge business loss, and we have been spending off our saved money ever since. Information regarding external grants/bursaries/scholarships would be very helpful.</p>
<p>IRRELEVANT INFORMATION if in case anyone wants to know:
My father is retired due to depression caused by the fact that his best friend cheated him in business and ever since we have a very limited source of income. My parents are selling off their assets in order for me to continue my education abroad since aid for international students is very limited.</p>
<p>Both my father and sister went to college abroad but they could not finish their degrees because of different reasons. So my parents dream of sending me abroad for a good education even if they have to sell off all that they acquired over the years.</p>
<p>Generally, education in my country (Bangladesh) has a very low standard. There are only 2 public universities which are good for engineering but education there is very frequently interrupted due to violence from politics and students are injured/killed/arrested etc. Living in my country is very insecure which also makes my parents want me to study abroad.</p>
<p>My STATS:</p>
<p>GCE O-levels: Straight A's in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Computing Studies, Bengali Language, English Language.</p>
<p>GCE A-levels: (Rigorous curriculum which may earn me advanced standing/credits)
Physics- A (90%+)
Chemistry- A (88%)
Mathematics-A* (95%)</p>
<p>SAT: ( I did not study for it since I decided to go to Canada)
Critical Reading : 560
Writing: 610
Math: 720</p>
<p>TOEFL ibt: 110/120</p>
<p>High School Award for Academic Achievement: Honours </p>
<p>National Awards received from The Daily Star for outstanding performance in GCE O/A levels.</p>
<p>Award from the Rotary Club of Dhaka for outstanding academic achievement</p>
<p>Involved/ organized/ co-organized many charitable events for underprivileged people in collaboration with renowned NGO's. </p>
<p>Fluent in C/C++ structured and object oriented computer programming. Familiar with JAVA, Visual Basic and PYTHON.</p>
<p>P.S: I took a gap year, so additional advice regarding such is very welcome. Really appreciate the help, thanks in advance.</p>
