Education & Reference - 9 July 2007

I've granted a provisional admission to Umass-dartmouth to presue my gradute study in electrical engineering.

Due to the fact that I'm an international student I should take TOFEL and GRE tests. in the next few week I'm going to the US to attend a language center and then I can get good scores in both exams.

I've got a GPA of 4.53/5.00 and am finacially well-off, is the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth really good for me as a graduate engineering student or I can get a better chance after i take GRE and TOFEL test??

and what are my chances in being admitted in Stanford/ Columbia/MIT?

Add it all up
then consider the grants from big pharma, defense dept, corporations, etc and then look at the billions in reserve funds that the big schools have i.e. U of T, Rice, Tx Tech, and Tx A&M....these are state ultra-rich schools all who have raised tuition every year for decades.
