You mentioned Purdue University.....is that the one in West Lafayette?if it is isnt it too good to take me in?
I have quite a few extracurriculars......

Please any more suggestions are welcome.</p>

<p>I think you will get into Purdue (yes - West Lafayette). Check out the Purdue thread - lots of kids get in. (Staying in is a different matter. It's tough!) Their average GPA is 3.4 and here are the SAT scores:
SAT scores (25/75 percentile):
Verbal:
500 – 610
Math:
530 – 650
Combined:
1030 – 1260</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I know nothing about financial aid for international students. So I don't know what you can afford...</p>

<p>But I'd look seriously at RIT too for sure.</p>

<p>My son also applied to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. While not a "famous" engineering department, it should be fairly easy to get into and affordable.</p>

<p>I don't know about the other big state schools. Check out the stats for them on CollegeBoard.com. Michigan State (not Univ. Michigan), Ohio State, U Mass.</p>

<p>Maybe add Drexel, Illinois Institute of Technology, Michigan Tech.</p>

<p>Wright State in Dayton Ohio (good Aero Eng program).</p>

7

<p>Northeastern University
Rowan University</p>

<p>Colorado-Boulder has a great Aerospace Engineering department. With Ball Aerospace in town, the Aerospace Engineering department gets involved in some great projects, like a new instrument currently waiting to be installed in the Hubble Telescope, that was designed at CU-Boulder and built by Ball Aerospace in Boulder. Pretty cool stuff!</p>
