<p>Even as a full pay international student, you will have a hard time with a WGPA of 3.71</p>

<p>My advice is to look at good LAC or Regional Universities where being an international will be looked upon as adding some desired diversity. Asian students would not add to the diversity of Western US or Northeastern US schools but may still add to the diversity at some Southern schools.</p>

<p>what are some regional universities? as in state universities?</p>

<p>Maybe a school like University of Central Florida in Orlando.</p>

5

<p>Or University of Arizona.</p>

<p>how about Rochester Institute of Technology(though it’s full of geeks/nerds)? an admission officer visited my school once. i think the school might be a good fit for me.</p>

<p>US News and World Reports (USNWR) “Best Colleges” rankings that are broken down by </p>

<p>National Universities</p>

<p>Liberal Arts Colleges</p>

<p>Master’s Universities
The Masters Universities are further broken down by regions of the US. These (Regional Universities) are often some very top schools that don’t have a large selection of terminal degree programs (thus Masters Level Universities). This is the list I was referring to… [Best</a> Colleges - Education - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/masters-universities]Best”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/masters-universities).</p>
