<p>By all means apply but if you are set on studying in the United States and you are interested in science or engineering, take a look at [Association</a> of Independent Technological Universities: AITU](<a href=“http://www.theaitu.org%5DAssociation”>http://www.theaitu.org) schools, particularly some of the lesser known ones, Stevens Institute, Illinois Tech and so on. These have very good Engineering and science programs and the admission requirements are a match for your SAT scores.</p>
