So long as you're in the country legally, you have a good shot at any of these schools.



Be aware some of these schools do not have ABET-accredited Bachelor's degrees in Computer Engineering.



You might also consider high quality "boutique" Engineering Schools, such as:



Rose-Hulman

Franklin Olin

Cooper Union

Harvey Mudd
