<p>Hey, I'm an international student from India, who will enroll in college in 2013. So class of 2013 for me. I'm looking to study science or engineering, not sure which of the two. </p>
<p>I'm not applying for aid btw. I have no preference between LAC's or research universities as such. Out of the few colleges I've seen I really liked Columbia, Penn, Berkeley and Harvey Mudd. So, I've listed most of my app below, where do you recommend I should apply?</p>
