Hi, I just took the GRE and am considering applying to top engineering schools. Here is a profile. I just have two questions:
1) What are my chances to go to top graduate schools in Engineering? (MIT, some Ivy Leagues, and many schools in Cali)
2) Is it even worth going as opposed to staying at UF with a low cost of living and low debt?
GPA: 3.4
GRE: Quantitative - 170, Verbal - 160
Publications: One with a state organization (Department of Transportation), another in the works that will be finished by Spring, and a possible third by next summer.
Extra-Curriculars: Fairly strong, had a few part time jobs and some experience with entrepreneurship, just no internships.
