Mwfan1921:

which one has the vibe, location, and curriculum you like best? Will the extra cost of Mudd be difficult for your family to afford?

As for outcomes, Mudd’s salaries are higher, but it’s a small school. Additionally as an international student you will have three years max OPT to work in the US post-graduation. What are your career goals?

These are exactly the reasons I am thinking about(but i never knew how to outline them so clearly), so thank you so much!
First of, I love Cali, especially LA. And my dream school was UCLA, which rejected me lol. But HMC and other 4 schools have the idea vibe I want: passionate people who are dedicaded for their love and excellent resources which International students can has less restrictions.
The fee for uva’s engineering school is 91k and hmc’s is 93k, so that is not a problem.
Plus, I love the humanities,as much as STEM, but I want to major in STEM. So, the STEM vibe of LAC is perfect fit for me. And the career resources in HMC is what attracts me the most, with the perfect location. But I was also accepted to Carleton, but there isnt any engineering path except for the 4+2 programs. So thats why HMC might be more fit for me.
Plus, I was interviewed by a senior of HMC, who was so nice and even wrote down about a topic I mentioned to do some research later.
Okay, now after answering these questions, I think I found my prefered school, lol.
