Help, I’m a Asian student who has done much web-based research, over the last 3 months, but no nearer making any decisions on US universities. My SAT score is 1480 and I aim to major in engineering. and yes, I am looking for a prestige name and a solid degree, as this is Hicksville where (eg) Rice U is not known.

Here’s a specific question: If if it is to be a choice between Michigan, Illinois and UT-Austin, should i really agonise too much? All 3 are state universities afterall, but the all in costs are 43k, 31k and 24k. so should I burden my parents. Thanks.
