<p>Schools in Canada don’t care about ECs</p>

<p>For colleges below ECs are relegated to “considered” (which means only in borderline cases and if you are looking at Princeton, then you are not borderline):</p>

<p>Illinois Institute of Technology
Maryland
Massachusetts (UMASS-Amherst)
North Carolina State
Penn State
Purdue
Rose-Hulman
SUNY Buffalo
SUNY Stony Brook
Virginia Polytechnic
Wisconsin</p>

<p>Aid is hard to come by at out-of-state publics, but you might get some merit aid.</p>

<p>You might also mention you are an international student because that makes a difference on what aid is available.</p>

5

<p>Caltech, but it awards a very limited amount of aid to internationals.</p>

6

<p>Thank you so much everyone and yes I am an international</p>

<p>Texas A&M if you qualify for the automatic admission criteria does not consider anything else:
<a href=“http://admissions.tamu.edu/international/freshman[/url]”>http://admissions.tamu.edu/international/freshman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>However, the deadline may have already passed.</p>

<p>Add the University of Minnesota to ClassicRockerDad’s list in post #3. Very good engineering school, ECs only “considered.” Admission is pretty much by the numbers, i.e., GPA + test scores. Not a lot of aid for internationals but COA for OOS and international students is low relative to engineering schools of similar quality.</p>

<p>Depending on what you mean by “top schools”, you may want to see if any of the schools in this list with engineering qualifies:</p>
