I can only speak for EE/Physics, I have 5 Iranian co-workers in my department alone, all in their mid-twenties. I don't believe my uni is special in that regard
I'm sure they are the leading country, but in terms of new graduates: Most of them will try to get to the West - and many will succeed, because the standard is (at least for physics/math) higher in Iran than US
Of course, even if you are within the top 1000, you are still part of the <1% elite. Naturally, they wont turn them down - and if they did, Standford, CalTech, UCLA, ... are ready to snatch them up.
Well, they LOL at you back, because they are still all in top 100, unlike you! :D But an impressive achievement, nonetheless
Ultimately, most of them will end up in the West...
Agree, EE is the most beautiful of all engineering disciplines. Control theory, circuit design, RF theory... all bring tears of joy to my eyes :smitten:
