Location/Region: City/Rural/Suburb? USA or Canada. Preferably not in something too big for an international student lol, but I can adapt.
Major: What would you want to major/minor in? Best would be aerospace engineering, or aeronautical. 2nd pick would be some advanced physics like quantum physics, or astrophysics, etc. Or, 3rd pick being chemical engineering
GPA/Test Scores: No GPA in my country, but I have a general mean around 18/20, with 19,3/20 in math and 19/20 in physics. Also over 19/20 in english, and when I'm lucky even 20/20 on a full semester. No SAT yet, but will probably take this year (still in 11th), let's say I get something like +1500
Curriculum: Basically anything that got a ton of math & physics, if possible related to space, aerospace & engineering. Apart from the classes maybe some chess would be nice, but not mandatory
Size: Don't really care, I honestly don't even know what are the typical USA class sizes
Costs: As low as possible ; travel costs are already terribly high. Basically, if I can't get complete need based financial help I can't go
Schools You're Currently Looking At: Princeton, with the "mechanical & aerospace engineering" major, would be my dream uni. Stanford number 2 and MIT 3. Also looking at most of the other ivies such as Cornell, Harvard
Additional: Must be really low cost or fully covers costs like the ivies, otherwise I'll just be unable to pay the crazy costs of schooling + housing + travel etc. This is also why I'm looking only for the top ones, because if they're not academically better than what I can get in France, there's no real point of going abroad ; if I go to the US, it's only to get something better than France
