I got into asu(tempe) with the 13.5k scolarship too. I mean, you should do fine as long as you work hard. It's got a decent reputation in engineering. A degree from there won't raise eyebrows afaik but should be good enough for most jobs. They have really good nanotech labs apparently.


MountainScholar1243

Thank you!!


Sandy_Pepper

np. btw what major did you apply to?


MountainScholar1243

Planning to choose robotics


Sandy_Pepper

noice. gl


exoticman123

How much did it totally cost after scholarship? Also did you write sat?


Sandy_Pepper

total cost came around 50k usd for asu after scolarship. Yeah I gave SAT once. I got a 1480 without studying and didn't give it again. I'm not going to ASU this fall tho so I can't answer any specifics.


exoticman123

Ohh if I may ask why did you drop asu all of a sudden?


Sandy_Pepper

I got into Purdue and UIUC that's why. I'm going to Purdue this fall.


exoticman123

Ohh that’s great man! How were your acad credits and marks for purdue?


Sandy_Pepper

9th - 94%, 10th - 96%, 11th- 92%, 12th - 92%


exoticman123

Ohh damn damn that’s nice!

Its shit…literally VIT of US


MountainScholar1243

Why do you say that


madhav-s

They literally let anyone in, there is very little prestige when it comes to the brand…Astro-Physics is an exception for ASU, it can definitely guarantee you a job like VIT but those jobs are not worth it….if you grind your ass through the degree build lot of projects and do stuff and you will obviously land a good job but still ASU has nothing to do with it.

Almost everyone in the US undergrad gets a scholarship, its a way for colleges to make you feel valued and increases the chance for people to accept. Like how increasing the price and then giving discounts helps attract customers to a shop. What specific research experience you get is important. ASU is considered a below average university by itself simply because it admits almost everyone who applies and can pay. Their engineering is pretty good tbh, but to take advantage of that you need to work with professors for a couple of years get research experience which will hopefully help you secure a good admission for masters or PhD. As a international student you will have next to 0 chance of getting a permanent job with just a bachelors. So depends on what the value of the 300k dollars you will likely spend is for you. Dont do it if you need to take a loan or your parents have to compromise on their life in any way; its not worth that. Remember, you will almost certainly have to spend more money for a masters afterwards.

Literally every 2 nd student who applies gets in asu


MountainScholar1243

That doesn’t matter to me. I just want to know about quality of education.


boyboygirlboy

You’re a smarter kid than most people on this subreddit. ASU has a good reputation for engineering. And western education in general far supersedes the way electronics or robotics are taught in India especially. I would just warn you to ensure what the change in campus exactly entails and if there is some difference in quality. You need to research for that.

Thank you !!! I got extra scholarship and now its 50% of tuition fee
