There are 50 states, each with many colleges and universities, so hundreds of options in the USA alone. You can head to many places potentially, assuming they are affordable for you. There is just no way to recommend specific universities out of the hundreds available that you could possibly be admitted to. It is better if you ask your chances of admission at specific universities, or at least state what type of university you are looking for – which states/regions, what size university and city, what you plan to major in, any hobbies you want to continue while here, how much you can afford, etc.

@mommyrocks Hello! I’d add on that i’m looking at the tier one universities mainly, from the ivies down to the top public schools, maybe UCs even. Cost if not too much of an issue right now, just gathering the options. Thanks!!

Your first stop for colleges and universities in the US should be at the EducationUSA advising center in Singapore: https://educationusa.state.gov/centers/educationusa-singapore-advising-center

The counselors there will be able to tell you where students similar to you have been admitted in recent years.
