USA universities - Help

eldoeldo Member Posts: 6
in Off-Topic Discussion

Hello,

I’m a Spanish university student and I have been thinking in taking next year a master course in engineering in a top USA university. I don’t have much information on where to take these studies so I’m asking for a little help.

So far I have found that the best ones are:

Massachusetts IT

Stanford University

California IT

University of California- Berkeley

Georgia IT

Is that right? It is really very difficult to get admitted to these universities? Any others I should add to my list?

Also, another question. It would be much easier for me to get admitted to the Illinois IT. Is that university good enough? Is there a big difference between this and the top ones?

I hope many people here attend to engineering universities and are willing to help me. Thank you very much!

    Sounds like your looking for somthing along the west coast?

    I'm really not sure..my advice is to google tech universities in your area and see if any of them have engineering classes.

    MIT

    Stanford

    CalTech

    UC Berkeley

    These four are VERY hard to get into, if you are a U.S. citizen. International students really need to consult their own counselors and see what options they have to getting into any of these schools. The only way I see you getting into them is aboard an international student program. . . perhaps if you contact the Dean of Admissions at one of the colleges and set up and interview or something.

    Yeah, I will try to get into an International Student Program... That will make it much easier I hope. I'm just making a list on places to knock the door. I will try the top ones but I will add some that are a little bit more easier to get into.

    Thank you for your replies.

    Thank you for your replies.

    Also, eldo. . . they are very expensive colleges. I'm not sure how an international student program works with your country but I am just letting you know. Perhaps your government will pay for you though. . .

    Good luck.

    Depends on what part of Cali. . .

    San Fran area is awesome to visit (super expensive to live).

    Los Angeles area is a hellhole (I live here ).

    Orange County (aka "The OC" ) is equally as bad as Los Angeles, only richer. . . I don't really see that as a positive thing though.

    San Diego is kind of nice, although a bit like Orange County. . . not my cup of tea.
