You haven’t told us the most important factor: will you need financial aid?

If so, you should not be applying to your desired unis – they offer no FA to international students.

If you don’t need FA, I would say, your odds are good for Georgia Tech and Purdue, slightly less so for UCLA or Berkeley (only because they’re so competitive in general.)

I don’t understand why so many international students apply to state universities…plus they don’t even give FA to international students.

If you DON"T need money, you have fair chances at all of them, with a bit less chance at UCLA and UCB.

If you DO need money, you should look into private universities.
