<p>Since you are familiar with CA and want a good engineering school, consider Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Even if you pay full tuition for international students it is a bargain. Additionally, it is one of the best engineering programs in the United States. My kid loves it and your stats are appropriate for the school although the average GPA is slightly higher than yours. If you do well on the ACT or SAT (ACT is preferred) you gotta a very good chance.</p>
<p>San Luis Obispo is a great little town – one of the best. There are not a whole lot of international students there so conversely this is very good for you as competition is less. Oh yeah, Cal Poly has the highest starting salaries for engineers of all California public schools including UCLA, and UC Berkeley. It also beats most of the privates too.</p>
