I m an international student. I got admitted to Ohio State, Penn State-Harrisburg, Virginia Tech, University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Minnesota. I wish to major in aerospace engineering. When I sought people for advice, every said that don't go with the ranking, look at the course curruculum. When I got admitted to them and sought advice as to which one to attend, everybody says that why didn't u apply to U of Michigan, U of Illinois. Now I am feeling like damn! why didn't I apply there. So I would like to have opinion as to which university should I go to or should I look for transfer to UMich, UIlli, Purdue. Suggestions are welcomed as to which should I go now?

Why did you apply to Penn State Harrisburg, why not apply to the main campus at University Park?

Oh the places mentioned, VaTech would be the best scholastically.

Well I applied to Penn State Main campus but I did not get in there. So , they gave me the secondary campus.

You applied to Penn State - Main Campus but you did not get accepted? This tells me that your stats aren't probably competitive enough to even consider UofM and UofI - but what do I know about your stats?

Well! I had grades that were competitive enough to reach the other two. It was a matter of that I just could not apply?

VTech is a great school, and depending on where you are from internationally you might be more comfortable with the climate in Virginia than in Colorado/Minnesota. Just one thing to consider.

yeah, Penn State University Park's stats are very similar to UofI's stats, but I doubt you have much of a shot for Michigan if you got rejected by main campus.
