<p>With these scores, it’s highly unlikely you can get financial aid.
I was hoping for 720 in math and the rest in CR/W which would be excused to a certain extent due to your being international.
But the math and SAT2 scores are going to be a problem for engineering
Merit aid = at directionals, perhaps?
Your Math2 and Physics will both be considered a bit low for the
big tech schools. I’m not sure it’s in your best interest to
apply to a college of engineering, although you can apply to
2-3 just to see.
How much can your parents pay?</p>
<p>what engineering school can i apply???</p>
<p>i have no idea… they hope that I can get in any college in top 100 or 150… Do i have a chance in cu boulder</p>
<p>If you can pay the full cost of your education, there are plenty of lower-tier institutions that will be happy to admit you provided you are willing to enroll in the remedial ESL classes that your CR and WR scores indicate you need.</p>
<p>Find out what your parents are willing to pay each year, subtract $12,000 from that figure for transportation, books, living expenses, etc. and run the college-matching search engines to identify places where your tuition and fees will cost no more than the difference. For example, if your family can pay $30,000 each year, you can search for engineering programs where the tuition and fees are $18,000 or less.</p>
<p>If you have no idea how much money your parents can pay, that’s the first step.
With your stats, you can get into a top 100-150 college if they’re willing to pay full costs.
If not, you can get into a lower-tier college and hope for some kind of scholarship for your stats, but you’d likely attend a 4th tier university, or have a gap year so that you can try again.</p>
<p>oh hi. there are plenty of lower-tier institutions… Hmmm which are???
4th tier?? which are…</p>
<p>We need to know how much your parents can pay. Please have that discussion and come back to let us know.
You can find out the universities yourself fairly easily:
type “USNWR Liberal arts colleges” in your browser and start at #100 or so; type USNWR regional universities" and start at #20 or so, focusing on universities within your price range; you can even add “USNWR national universities” starting at rank 80 or so and “regional colleges”, any ranking.
This should give you a list of 100 schools or so. Select about 4-5 in each list and come back to post here (AFTER you tell us how much your parents can afford to pay).</p>
<p>30-36k per year… hmmm my family is not rich after all…</p>
<p>30-36k per year is A LOT and will help you get into A LOT of schools. Obviously, not Michigan, but you never had a shot in the first place (you knew that, right?) :p</p>
<p>Check out the schools suggested above and add Colleges that change lives (ctcl.org).</p>
<p>:( No michigan?? haha… its okay~ Can I apply for michigan state??</p>
<p>Im applying
- NYU-Poly (dream school)
- UWashington
- U of Illinois (reach school)
- Texas at Austin
- Ohio state U
- Penn state
- Stevens Institute of Technology
- University of Maryland College Park
- Purdue University
- Colorado Boulder (safety school)
- Rose-Hulman
- Yeshiva</p>
<p>Considering your screenname is AbuBakar I would not have Yeshiva on that list.</p>
<p>Just a question: have you looked at the lists suggested above? And have you looked at costs?</p>
<p>Stevens and Colorado are matches, not safeties, but they’re outside your price range. Everything else on your list is either a reach or unaffordable.</p>
<p>Start with the regional universities and colleges to find safeties and matches, then add a a few national universities and colleges.</p>
<p>I suggest you not to send your score.</p>
<p>Actually that SAT score isn’t bad for some schools and would strengthen the application if it’s so-so in other ways, but NOT to these schools.</p>
<p>Just a question: have you looked at the lists suggested above? And have you looked at costs?
what list?? im actually chinese … haha… btw which are unaffordable and reach???</p>
<p>see #27 - you have enough there to make a list of 25 universities.</p>
<p>Read about each.
Look at costs and application deadlines.
I doubt your final list will include Yeshiva (even if you’re Chinese from Malaysia)</p>
<p>why yeshiva doesnt like chinese or malaysian lol? btw the list re abit too low for my parents… 
i’ll find the suitable 1… thanks alot for helping seriously!!</p>
<p>Yeshiva, like BYU, Catholic University of America, Pepperdine, or Baylor, is a university meant in particular for the members of a religion, so that they can continue growing in their faith while studying a major. It’s not a matter of the university “liking” a certain nationality, it’s just not very well-suited if you’re not a member of that faith.</p>
<p>hmmm… tell for telling me that. I’m considering that because it’s in NYC and part of Columbia Engineering Program</p>
<p>thanks for telling</p>
