Hi there. You have already received advice on your previous thread and I’m not sure there’ll be anything different here.

I’ll repeat a couple of key points here regarding the financial aspect:

@Bobtastic_Engineer

As for finance’s, I can only apply to Need-Blind US school’s due to their astronomical cost’s

Need blind only means they don’t look at your financial need during admissions. It does not necessarily mean they’ll also provide financial aid to meet your need.

@Bobtastic_Engineer

As for Cornell and Caltech, they offer generous financial aid so I think it’ll be fine

Both Cornell and Caltech are need aware for international applicants.

Also:

@Bobtastic_Engineer

My parent’s are contributing a total of $5K for my tuition and I’ve saved up $20K so far, the rest I hope to pay through a combination of Co-op, working throughout the school year,

As mentioned on your other thread, internships and co-ops will not pay enough to cover your costs. And you cannot work outside the campus through the school year on a student visa.

And more importantly:

@DadOfJerseyGirl

As an international student, you will need to show you have sufficient funds to cover all 4 years of your education. Else you will not get a student visa.
And you have to show money you already have - cannot rely on future expected income from internships, etc.

Please look at the suggestions you’ve already received in the other thread. Good luck.
