Funds funds funds. And even the interesting (for you) research topics that are brought ahead in a specific department of a university.

Thanks for the reply.. I'll prefer universities with lot of activities and social life. I also want a program where you really get in touch with professors and you have a real contact with them. I'm looking for quite warm places and a campus life, i've had enough of caotic cities.

Hey, I need some advices while i'm trying to decide schools to apply to. Field: MS Aero Engineering Basing on this list, can you please write down a chart of 8-10 from these schools, considering everything, from prestige and employment rate to social life, etc.? I'm not looking for Aerospace Engineering student, just everyone. Embry Riddle Purdue Texas - Austin Texas A&M Virginia Tech Penn State Minn Twin Cities University of Virginia Iowa State Arizona State Case Western Illinois Tech (Armour) Missouri S&T West Virginia University of Kansas SUNY Buffalo U Dayton Auburn Ginn Uni of Missouri Washington University in St. Louis Mississippi State Oklahoma State Alabama - Huntsville Uni of Oklahoma California - Long Beach UT Arlington Thank you!

This is what i'm trying to turn out: where are better opportunities of obtaining financial aid?

Is better to apply to highest ranked university in Engineering? Even if it means no funds? If my stats aren't that great and I will find difficult to manage the expenses of a high ranked school, isn't better apply at low ranked school and get some form of financial aid? For example.. a 30th in my field (with no funding), costing 35k p/a VS a 80th (with funding) costing a 25k p/a

On the US News Premium Graduate Website I found the section "appointments" for every school. What are appointments and most of all how can I relate them to the effective possibility of getting financial aid? Hope it's quite clear! Thank you Matteo

With a GPA of 3.2 is easier to get funding from low ranked schools rather than top, but rich, ranked? I'm an international applicant, Engineering Master.

Thank you so much! I will check the thread.. To which schools are you applying? Really no chance at all for funding at purdue?
