Look into MIT, Caltech, CMU, Rice, Stevens Institute, RPI, WPI, Harvey Mudd, Cooper Union, USC

If you're willing to look at public universities, there are A LOT that are incredibly good

Schools like Michigan, Berkeley, UIUC, GaTech, UT Austin, Texas A&M, Purdue, VaTech, ASU, UW Madison, UMD, UCLA, CU Boulder, UDub are all great choices.

MIT is too much of a reach

I want to be ambitious not impractical haha

[wanton ivy]

I already applied to a lot of those!

I’m thinking

Princeton
UPenn
Northwestern
Stanford
NYU

• Rutgers

VTech has EA deadline on 15th so maybe that like rn

MIT is too much of a reach but Stanford/Princeton aren't?

That doesn't really make sense but ok

[wanton ivy]

I mean

MIT takes like 3 kids from India

stanford and princeton take around 15

[glass hazel]

Where are you getting this data? And still, Stanford and Princeton are still incredibly competitive

[wanton ivy]

country wise enrollment of the colleges

I know stanford and princeton are impossibly competitive

Forget MIT

Any additions to the rest?

[glass hazel]

You also understand Stanford is a larger school, therefore taking in more undergrad students right? Same for Princeton(although not much)? I'm just saying that MIT makes sense to apply to but you do you.

[wanton ivy]

Okay

You aren't wrong, I'll do MIT if i get done with the rest on time
