International students applying aerospace engineering

[kygkwok]

A lot of schools don't take intl student because they cannot find research funding for you that you can do. A lot of funding resources in aero area are gov related and classified. They allow only U S citizen to enter and look into those labs.

Please believe me. I have been thru all that. My undergrad is in aerospace engineering. Applied master in aerospace, and got accepted. However, I got no funding due to "THAT" reason. I really recommend international students to do something else. Civil or mechanical engineering.

Why do you think so? This certainly depends on the area you want to pursue research in. If they publish a lot they won't have securtity restrictions, maybe you just applied to the wrong schools. But you are right many fields are also covered my the ME departments so this is an advice to take into account.
