Which colleges should be the best for my qualities ?Answered
I am US citizen but live in another country for approx. 15 years. I want to study in US for college. My unweighted GPA 4.0 and I got 1580 from SAT. I have few extracurriculars like theatre, robotic club, events for orphans but not a international competitions. I have not any AP or Honors classes because there is none in my high school. I will need probably a lot of scholarship for college so would public/state schools be a little hard for me to afford ? And which private colleges would be the best for me to apply ?
I actually want to study in engineering fields more likely computer engineering or it would be computer science. Moreover I'm interested in physics.

Since you are a US citizen, you are eligible for federal student aid. I recommend focusing on applying to the schools which are the most generous with aid - you can find them on this list. Quite a few of these schools have good STEM degree programs. Hope this helps!

Hi Basilisk. To help you better answer this, can you share what sort of majors you're interested in? While there are certainly some across-the-board great universities, many ones you may not have heard of offer a good education for some specific field — and may be more generous with scholarships to their average applicant.
