Answers:
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.
What region are you looking to go to school in? That will change your responses.
depends on what you are looking for
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!
