Should I attend Carnegie Mellon as an international student who plans to enter ECE? Or should I look at other schools?

I hope you realize this ED application is a hard NO.

Yeah, I’m considering to downscale to RD (which was my original plan when I first though of just randomly applying to any US university to see if I’d get accepted) if not just outright take the SAT and apply to a cheaper school.

Did I read that you have a plan to pay year one?

Yeah, sort of. I don’t expect it to be that good though.

Realistic or not, how about two, three, or four? Loans and scholarships are not realistic.

You caught me! I don’t know how the hell I’d pay for the following years short of pulling stints that can only happen in television shows!
