Need A college suggestion

  1. Location/Region: I’m from India and open to studying anywhere in the US. I’d prefer a safe campus with a strong CS community and good internship/research opportunities. Major: BS in Computer Science GPA/Test Scores: I know my grades are uneven, so I’m looking for schools that value strong test scores and holistic review. Activities: Size: No strong preference. Costs: Maximum budget is about $4,500 USD per year total, so I would need extremely high aid/full funding. Schools You're Currently Looking At: Still researching realistic options. Additional: I know needing major aid as an international student makes things difficult, but I’m hoping my SAT score and activities can help. Looking especially for schools known to give strong merit aid/full rides to international CS students.
