Which REALLY GOOD university would be right for me?

I am only looking for a really GOOD university. Which would you recommend for me?

-I have a 3.65 GPA

I scored 1860 on SATs

-I am aiming for an IB diploma (hoping to stand out as there arnt many IB diploma candidates applying to US universities.)

– I am an international student studying in another country. The school is pretty big…good school..

-I am part of the Key Club, Stu Gov, National Junior honor society, Chinese honor society, a leadership position in Orphanage Club, a leadership position in World Vision, and I am also part of the chamber music group (an auditioned musical group with string instruments that takes only 2-3 players of each instrument…very hard to get in!)

-I have done 106 hours of volunteer work and 2 summers of internship with 2 big computer companies.

-I’ve gotten a few awards for community service for clubs at school.

– i write pretty good essays…

-Potential majors are something to do with science.maybe computers.

THANKS!

You sound like a fairly strong candidate, and you have good scores and an interesting background. With all that, plus your tentative interest in science and/or computers, you should check out the following US universities:

– Carnegie Mellon

– Boston University

– University of California, Berkeley

– Massachusetts Institute of Technology

– University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana

– Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

– Stanford University

– Johns Hopkins University

– Cornell

– Columbia

– Rice University

– University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

– University of Virginia

– University of N. Carolina, Chapel Hill

– University of Chicago

– Harvey Mudd College

– Rose Hulman Institute of Technology

– U Texas, Austin

– Purdue

– Texas A&M

– University of California, Los Angeles

– Northwestern

All are very strong, and rather selective. Some are quite selective, and those might be a reach, but you write well so I’d think you can craft a good, convincing essay. All are strong, overall universities, and many have especially strong engineering/tech/science programs.

I hope this gets you started. Good luck!

PS: Another poster recommended NYU. it’s a great school, very selective, but it is not known for its engineering programs. If you think you may want to go in that direction, NYU wouldn’t be a good fit.

Potential schools (keep in mind these are very competitive)…lots of pressure, but if you can handle it, I suggest:

1- M.I.T

2-GEORGETOWN

3-UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

4-UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

5- DUKE UNIVERSITY

6-UC BERKELY

7-STANFORD

8-NYU

9-UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND (virginia)

10- COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY

11-UT Austin

Wondering why only one Ivy League School on the list? IL schools are all style and no substance. I’m partial to Virginia schools because I live in VA, went to college here, it’s a great state with great schools:) Good Luck!
