How does a US university evaluate a student profile? My son wants to apply for a Bachelor's in Mechanical engineering in the USA. Which are the best universities for that course?

The student profile is the most important part of the admission process. Your profile will decide whether you will get the admission or not. Student profiles are evaluated based on different criteria. Your Score (GPA, entrance test scores, School grades), Resume, Statement of Purpose, Letter of recommendation, Research work (if any), work experience (if any), this is the basic method of profile evaluation.
For a bachelor's in mechanical engineering MIT, Stanford University, UCB, California Institute of Technology are some of the best universities you can choose from. The tuition fees for these universities are,

1. MIT- $53,450
2. Stanford University- $55,473
3. UCB- $43,938
4. California Institute of Technology- $52,506
