Looking For a Safety School...

Non-traditional student, been out of HS quite some while. Attempted to transfer as a sophomore- got waitlisted at Stanford & rejected at UVA (the on-call dean told me that they were turning the majority of underclass transfers away as part of their new agreement with the state community college system -of which I am a part of- and that I should simply accrue more hours and reapply).

I'm applying to some big kid schools, not expecting to be admitted. I'm currently on track to be an econ major, but have recently decided to attempt to double major in engineering as well (leaning towards mechanical). SO... I'm looking for a school that will let me double dip after I am admitted (read: private school). I need some suggestions for safety schools that have solid econ and engineering.

I'm a poor 4.0 CC student with excellent EC's and very good writing ability. Please help. I know that this question is a little late, but I cannot choose safeties to save my life.
