[Mr. Maggot]

So after all those dreams and high hopes and aspirations of getting into beast colleges.
I have ended up with a pack of mediocre universities.

The options that I have ended up with are-
UMass Amherst-with scholarship, Honours College.
Rochester Institute Of Technology-with scholarship.
Stony Brook University
Northeastern University
Case Western Reserve University.
Looking to study Computer Engineering/ Science.
I'm all ears to any advice, I need to reply back by May 1st.

Also keep in mind that I am an international student. Lastly, I'm looking to transfer to a better university.
95% chance of me not taking a drop year. But I may take one to get another chance to gain admission at top universities.
If you have any insight to the colleges posted above please post.

You got into these? Nice.
Stonybrook is not bad in the maths and sciences. It's cheap for New Yorkers, but you're international... not sure how much it is. Case Western is also supposed to be not bad, my cousin goes there as well. (He's taking some major related to some medical thing though). Never heard of Northeastern.. Not sure about Rochester, but you have a scholarship, so definitely consider that, if you have financial problems.

No money is secondary looking to get the best possible education, but of course something like $70000 a year is obsolete.
Stony Brook is pretty good in Engineering. But the other colleges are way better. Basically Stony Brook was a back up college, I didn't really apply to it as a college worth going to... Right now the dilemna is to choose between UMass and Case Western.
The plan is to either transfer out to something like Northwestern/UMich/ or try for slightly easier schools to get into, but which are great at my specific field like University of Maryland College Park.

Are you only considering us colleges?

[Mr. Maggot]

Are you only considering us colleges?

Yeah. I have already heard back from the places I applied to, its just a matter of choosing...

I have a couple friends that went to RIT and transferred to Clemson and other schools. If you're planning on transferring, as long as you keep your grades up you should be fine wherever you choose to go. I don't really know anything about universities outside of SC/NC (my tuition is only 2800 with my scholarships :D).
