funding is very low in US these days. they are either given by lower tier unis or to students with very good profiles. But u cna manage aid once u reach there.
among ur lot, UMC and iowa state are decent for vlsi. NCSU is EXCELLANT for embedded, but very tough to get in. ur acads may hurt u there...i'd suggest u try oregon state (one of the best fro analog vlsi), u mass amherst (best in digital vlsi), u cincinatti, ohio state, ASU (pretty good)...i'd suggest u check with maximus199 for better idea on embedded and vlsi unis.
