Which is the best option for a Mechanical Engineering major? Texas A&M, Case Western or Lousiana State (LSU)?
I am an international student and I have been admitted to these schools for Mechanical Engineering which I surely want to pursue. Further, I have also secured a $15,000/year scholarship from case Western.
Being an international student, cost of attendance is just as important as the quality of education I receive. All three are renowned colleges, with the cheapest being LSU. However, I have a chance of qualifying for an out of state tuition waiver at Texas A&M if I can somehow secure a $4000 scholarship, which may make it more affordable. At the same time my scholarship at Case Western tempts me.
I am unable to decide as I care both about quality and cost. Kindly help me out.

Texas A&M and Case Western are much highly ranked. My advice for you is that you should first wait for Texas A&M to reply you. At times, what you will end up paying, matters more than the amount of scholarship. With the scholarship Case Western gave you, i geuss there will be a much higher financial pressure compared to Texas A&M's out of state tuition waiver. If the difference in your cost of attendance is much, just go for the cheaper one between the two. Honestly, if you ask me, I believe you would have a much more fulfilled and mentally stable life at Texas A&M.
In the end, the choice is yours. Good luck
