<p>Your ECs are fine as are your grades. I know that for international students admission is a little more trickier, especially if you are asking for aid/scholarship. I’d say you have a really good shot at UT austin, UIUC, and G Tech. The others aren’t out of reach, but it is just hard to say since they are very competitive schools especially coming internationally.</p>
