Use this useful Information and help me!

<p>I want to learn as a Computer Science/Engineering, also I need huge Financial aid. Therefore i found some school which are helpful for me. Please rate these school according to rate of good Engineering program.</p>

<p>Berea College
Grinell College
Smith College
National University of Singapore
Waterloo university
University of Florida
Drexel University
Renselaer Polytechnic Institute
WPI
American University
illinois Institute of Technology
Haverford College
RIT
NJIT
Ramapo
Rowan
Siena
Mount Holyoke College
Daemen College
Macalester College
Wellesley College</p>

<p>If you want to add or substract school from the list, let me know (actually, my long time efforts of collecting information). Btw, my family can afford at most 5’000 in a year. I think i have a reasonable chance to be admitted these schools. Thank you.</p>

<p>well, most of the schools that are OUTSTANDING in the nation are mostly private schools or expensive public schools depending on which state you’re in. BUT price shouldn’t be stopping you from applying to great schools. Most of the great schools offer great financial aid packages. Below are some great (however, competitive admission) engineering schools:
U of Michigan Ann Arbor
U of Illinois Urbana Champaign
Carnegie Mellon University
MIT
Caltech
Georgia Institute of Tech (This one is not as expensive if concerning price)
U of Texas Austin
UC Berkeley
Good luck! I hope you get in a school that fits you :)</p>

<p>Maybe, i don’t have chance to be admitted in that good universities. Just tell about your opinion about schools which are listed above. Thank you</p>

<p>Not a totally scientific analysis–but my best estimate:</p>

<p>Top Group:
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Wellesley College
Haverford College</p>

<p>2nd group:
University of Florida
WPI
Macalester College
Grinell College
Smith College</p>

<p>3rd group:
American University
Illinois Institute of Technology
Berea College
Drexel University
Siena
Mount Holyoke College</p>

<p>4th group:
RIT
NJIT
Ramapo
Rowan</p>

<p>Don’t know these schools’ engineering programs:
National University of Singapore
Daemen College
Waterloo university</p>

<p>Good luck with your college applications.</p>

<p>Thank you Calcruzer. National University of Singapore and Waterloo University(Canada) are very good at Engineering programs. You can see from ACM programming contest results.</p>

<p>Any other estimator?</p>

<p>Any other schools which offer FA to international students and have a really good Computer Science\Engineering program?</p>

<p>OK, that’s it. </p>

<p>I reaaaalllllyyy interested in Computer Science and want to learn in good schools such as MIT, Yale, Caltech etc. But my CR and Writing score are low even though i have much aspiration to learn in them. However, since i know about difficulties to learn in them, i want to apply other schools which are very good at Computer Science\Engineering as well as offer huge Financial aid for International students. I found the school list from CC which are shown above, but, as i surf the Net, also there are a lot of schools which have same qualities. So, i just want to know the best 8 schools which are suitable for me(i mean, very good at Computer Science program and offers huge FA). Expert members, help me PLZ</p>

<p>Well, I think you’ve done the hard work here.</p>

<p>You are obviously very qualified except that the English score is low (which shows in the SAT CR result).</p>

<p>I’d say that you should apply to all the schools on your list that fall into the “Top Group” and “2nd group” plus maybe Drexel University. Just explain that you are working hard on improving your English and that the SAT CR doesn’t tell the “whole story” in your case–which is that you are improving day-after-day.</p>

<p>Apply using “fee waiver” meaning they shouldn’t make you pay (in most cases) to apply.</p>

<p>You will also have to fill out a FAFSA form (available online) to apply for financial aid. Here is the link:</p>

<p>[FAFSA</a> - Free Application for Federal Student Aid](<a href=“http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/]FAFSA”>http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/)</p>

<p>As an international, you don’t qualify for federal aid–but the schools require you to fill out this form so that they can figure out how much financial aid the school will give you.</p>

<p>If you can get accepted to Wellesley or Haverford, that would be the best thing for you in terms of aid. Next best is probably Grinell. I can’t say for sure, but if you are accepted, they will send you a financial aid summary shortly thereafter. Make sure you get these from all the schools where you are accepted before you make your choice on where to go (obviously you need to choose the one offering the best package). Plan to spend the money your family can afford on travel and food–and try to get the schools to offer money for the tuition, books, and dorm room.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>How about other schools which are not mentioned? Are there other schools which are good for me?</p>

<p>HAHA. Wellesley doesn’t accept male students. How come? HAHA.</p>

<p>I believe Smith is also a woman’s college. BTW don’t bother applying to Waterloo it costs around $36000 and the maximum amount of scholarship they give is $7000 to intels. I think you may have a very slight chance at WPI, and the rest I doubt it (never heard of Siena)</p>

<p>Yes, Smith is a women’s college, as is Wellesley. Not to mention that Wellesley doesn’t have an engineering program-- you can take a few classes at MIT and Olin, though.</p>

<p>Just to set the record straight, Wellesley, Smith, AND Mount Holyoke are all women’s schools (I know for sure because I’m applying to all of them.) I guess it’s better you knew before you actually applied :)</p>
