Chance me - UK student, reachy list of tech schools

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. Thanks for highlighting the financial aid packages - it’s clear I’ll have to spend a bit more time refining my list. For Georgia Tech, are merit scholarships viable? I was reading into their Stamps scholarship - it seems extremely competitive, but I thought I might as well try. I’ll also do some more research into Cornell - why do you say its engineering program is stronger? (My interest in Harvard was piqued by the research done in the Wyss Institute, but if the undergrad experience doesn’t match I’ll have to reconsider).
