<p>I am from India and I am applying for electrical engineering in UIUC, Purdue, GA Tech and Penn State.
My dream school is UIUC and I really want to get into its engineering department.
But my sat score seems to be quite low for UIUC engineering
CR-590
Math-740
Writing-650
Total-1980
(Math+CR-1330)</p>

<p>But I have excellent gpa and class rank
Class Rank-1/56
10th percentage-94.6%
11th percentage-89%
12th mid year-80%(strict corrections)
As you know, Indian high school courses are very rigorous(especially the state board syllabus of 11th and 12th).</p>

<p>ECs
Attended an internship in a technical plant
Participated and won in inter school quiz competitions
Currently hold a 6th grade certificate in solo piano from the Trinity College of London
Member of the ecology club and quiz club in my school
Done a community service of 100 hours
Played soccer in school level</p>

<p>I am applying for RD.
So can my gpa and rank make up for my sat score?
Please chance me!</p>

<p>PS:
Could anyone also name other universities which are good in engineering and also give generous financial aid for my stats.</p>

<p>Purdue - High Match
Penn State - Reach
Georgia Tech - High Reach
UIUC - High Reach</p>

<p>You know the admissions are very competitive for internationals. Your SAT score is very low. No university on your list gives FA to intl’s.</p>

<p>I know that these universities do not give finaid. Can you describe about universities like Drexel, Colgate which give finaid?
Also, I am not desperate for finaid(actually, I don’t need it). But It would feel good for me if I get it.</p>

<p>Also, I am retaking the sat on December 7th and did not do well on October sat because I had a bad testing day( had some confusion in my hall ticket and lost concentration).</p>
