<p>hi</p>
<p>i'm currently in my freshman year in an I I T (the I I T was very recently established ,major : electrical engineering)</p>
<p>i would like to apply as a transfer student to the top engineering colleges in the states ,for a major in electrical engineering or computer science, i'm writing the SATs I and II this yr(in oct and dec) ,what kind of scores do i need ? and what are my chances at MIT/Stanford/Ivies etc and pls suggest other colleges worth applying</p>
<p>i would also like to know if financial aid would be available and btw I I T stands for Indian Institute of Technology</p>
<p>generally transfers don’t get great financial aid offers and many universities are not need blind.</p>
<p>You should broaden your search. MIT and Stanford have very few opening for transfers. Northwestern, Tufts, Boston University, Rice, maybe Northeastern. (Northeastern’s electrical engineering program is rated higher than tufts)</p>
<p>and what if i don’t need aid? what kind of sat scores are reqd for mit/stanford?</p>
<p>Unlike the admissions process in India, American schools (especially private institutions like MIT and Stanford) heavily emphasize extra curricular activities. First, have a nearly perfect SAT score for them to even consider your application. Then, they’ll admit you based on the strength of your professor recommendations and extra curricular activities. </p>
<p>They keep an eye out for recommendations that state you’re been one of the best students ever, and for extra curriculars that demonstrate dedication, passion, and leadership.</p>
<p>Keep in mind Stanford selects around 20 students every year out of thousands of applications. You’re also disadvantaged because you are an international applicant.</p>
<p>Have you read this?</p>
