Thank you so much for informing me that ASU does not offer WUE on their main campus. I didn’t know this until now, and it will be important in making my final decision. Also did not know that WUE is limited to certain majors, this is certainly new information. As for SJSU I will most likely take it off my list as I am preferring a more traditional college experience but I am open to change. Also did not know that U Alabama ended their recognition program scholarships; thanks! Also did not know that Alabama scholarships stack and you receive more aid for engineering. Also will be retaking tests and if I receive a near perfect score(1600 or 36) I’ll consider the presidential elite scholarship. Also did not take inflation into account, thanks in advance.
Oregon State would not be full pay, would receive about 4.5K off in merit every year with up to 10K off after that. Also have good change of in-state OSAC scholarships as well as a possibility for OOS OSAC scholarships. Also have good chance at merit for UO; considering applying early for stamps(full-ride) scholarship.
Will consider other schools not on my list like Stevens, UMN, UGA, SMU, and others mentioned. Any pointers for differentiating between colleges? All of their websites look the same. How do I know what the school/programs are really like?
Unfortunately for international schools the Canadian ones I’ve looked at require a 4 or higher on AP Calc(which I’ll be taking this year) before the exam results are released for me so likely not a possibility but I will look into other international schools.
T20 goal is a vague statement that includes grad school/PhD and is not actually based on a ranking system but on a general consensus of which schools are the “best”. In no way did I mean to suggest that getting into a top grad school program was not a possibility from state school nor that being “successful” was based on what college you went to. I will continue to take suggestions but for now I think I have a pretty solid list built, my biggest concern(for the list) right now is finding a safety I actually want to go to and some solid target options. But I will still take into account any advice/suggestions regarding colleges and outside merit scholarships that I qualify for. Thanks a ton!
