Sincerely valuing your advice...

I am international student looking for engineering program to transfer after my junior year from a liberal art college. Please help me by roughly predicting the admission result for the following schools:
1 Texas A&M University
2 Purdue University
3 Georgia Tech
4 Tulane University
5 Baylor University
6 University of Texas Austin
7 Washington University in St. Louis
8 Columbia University
9 Cornell University
10 Stanford University

My information and qualifications are as follow:
Status: International student
Credit Earned before transfer: approximately 100 credits after Junior Year
GPA: 3.8/4.0 Cumulative 3.9/4.0 major
Academic Standing in Current school: pretty good, dean list student, and 10% percent.
Interest: Mechanical Engineering
ECs: Fairly good, been a student government representative, VP of international association, and active member of academic related clubs such as Sigma Pi Sigma, Kappa Mu Esplon…
Work Experience: Some internship experience in Engineering production and designing
Financial Ability: Poor, looking for financial assistance.

I have a few more questions.
1. How do those engineering school overview the grade the class that are not science and math. (because for those classes, I am just average)
2. Any suggestion on any other schools? I am not very smart to get into Ivy, but looking for some program that is well recognized in Engineering.
3. Any school that has engineering and can provide more than half to full of its total cost.


I will be appreciated for those who reply,

1 Texas A&M University - no ideas, they like instate students though.
2 Purdue University - you'll get in
3 Georgia Tech - In
4 Tulane University In
5 Baylor University - In
6 University of Texas Austin - same as Texas A&M
7 Washington University in St. Louis - In
8 Columbia University - Not likely
9 Cornell University - Not likely
10 Stanford University - Not likely

If your liberal art college has 3+2 program with a engineering school you should try for that. I also want to remind you that most international transfers rarely get aid. Also state schools don't provide financial aid to internationals.
