Were you in a high entrance score or specialty gymnasium? what “course” were you doing (STEM, Philology, etc)?
What exact classes are you taking in the US?
Are you an exchange student (supposed to return to Serbia to graduate) or a regular student whose parents are here on H1B or E visas?
Do your parents support your plan and what’s their budget for each year of college?
You MUST prep for the SAT - use Khan Academy and take old tests then review where you made mistakes and study from there. A high score is necessary for an international.
You’ll make connections at all colleges but at residential, tight-knit colleges it’ll be easier. Highly selective universities and liberal arts colleges would work for that but Computer Engineering is not offered everywhere.
You should apply ED2 somewhere to increase your odds.
For now, look into Olin, WPI, Tufts, the flagship(s) for the state you’re living in (ie. if Michigan, that would be UMichigan and Michigan State, if VA it’d be UVA, W&M, and VTech, if PA Penn State and Pitt, if Wyoming UWyoming…)
Which colleges should I apply to? [international, 4.67 (1-5 scale) GPA, <$60k; computer engineering]
