Which REALLY GOOD university would be right 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!

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.

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!
