International Students

<p>Hi I am an international student who will be in the us </p>

<p>am fully sponsored by my government and there is no problem with the cost I will be majoring in chemical engineering </p>

<p>1- university of Florida </p>

<p>2- Virginia Tech</p>

<p>3- Ohio state university </p>

<p>4- Arizona </p>

<p>Note : if you any excellent schools with smaller classes or private and they are good at engineering you are welcome to write it </p>

<p>I really would like a good university that will help me get a good education and a high GPA</p>

2

<p>anyone ? </p>

3

<p>What is your question?
What is your GPA?
What is your SAT scores?
Do you like a warm or cold environment?</p>

4

<p>Hmm I want a good education and easy to get A High GPA </p>

<p>I haven’t take the SAT Yet but I think I can get 1700 to 1900 </p>

<p>I would prefer warm </p>

<p>could you give name of good schools with small class</p>

<p>You might find this helpful: <a href=“http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/chemical-engineering-rankings”>http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/chemical-engineering-rankings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Caveat: it’s a ranking of graduate programs in chemical engineering. Universities with strong graduate programs usually also have strong undergraduate programs, but those rankings won’t tell you anything about the quality of the undergraduate experience (class sizes, opportunities for student research, etc). </p>

<p>Re excellent private engineering colleges with small classes: Caltech and Cooper Union come to mind. </p>

<p>I don’t think i have a ggod chance in Caltech </p>

<p>Where i come from they prefer the universities i wrote also harvard , yale … but i think they are unreachable </p>

<p>What do you think of ASU ? </p>

7

<p>Would someone help me</p>

8

<p>I’m not personally familiar with any of the universities you mentioned, or their chemical engineering programs in particular.</p>

<p>Your best source of information would be current undergraduate students, preferably current chemical engineering majors at those universities. You can probably find some online who’d be happy to talk to you (Facebook, college-specific discussion forums, etc). </p>

9

<p>You can also email the department or the admissions office and ask for a student contact, but you’ll probably get a pre-screened contact who’d be more positive about the program than the average student.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot </p>

<p>Anyone else ?</p>

11

<p>I think they are comparable schools, but am not familiar to your specific major. Are you applying? You should apply all of them and when you get the results come back to the school specific forum to get advice. </p>

12

<p>For chemical engineering, top schools would include UMinnesota-Twin Cities and UMaryland College Park.
However, 1700 is very low for engineering anywhere so hopefully your SAT will fall to the side of the 1900 range.
Another school you might want to look into is Cal Poly Pomona.</p>

13

<p>Well the companies in my country prefer them </p>

<p>Also am an international so 1700 would be fine English is not my native language but i can get more than 600 in the math </p>

<p>Which one of the universities i told you about would be more easy to get a higher GPA </p>

14

<p>Don’t assume 1700 would be sufficient for engineering, even if English isn’t your first language, especially since you’ll then have to take classes in English that are challenging even for native speakers.
ASU is probably the easiest to get into and, if you can stay away from the parties and the noise and so forth, the one where non engineering classes wouldn’t be as hard. However, engineering classes are typically the hardest on any campus. If you want a relatively easy GPA, it’s not the right major. Engineering grades are famously lower than their counterparts, ABET accredited programs weed out like crazy, and it’s just a LOT of work. In addition, ASU is also the easiest one not to graduate from… Your GPA will essentially depend on how many hours you spend on work per hour spent in class. For engineering, 2 and a half hour for each hour spent in class would be the minimum.
Note: I find it hard to believe ASU is better-known for Chem Eng than UMN-TC or UMD in your country, but, well. Perhaps you wouldn’t get into these two engineering schools anyway so better worry about the others ;-). </p>

<p>@ahmad1996‌ you are misunderstanding something. </p>

<p>Since you are an international student, while the admission officers might consider such fact, that doesn’t necessarily make it okay to get less SAT scores than others. You are expected to be near as fluent as native speakers. </p>

<p>If the colleges say that it’s okay for international kids to score in Criticial reading less than native speakers, how would international kids understand the college classes? </p>

<p>Thanks i have no problem working hard it is just i don’t want something that impossible </p>

<p>Also am not a party guy , usually i will just habg out for a movie and dinner on the weekend</p>
