CWRU is pushing $90,000 a year. Will your parents pay that amount? You need to sit with them and discuss a budget.
Once you have a firm number you can begin to create a reasonable list. CWRU is not easy to get into, plus it seems you would need a LOT of merit to attend. Applying is fine, but you really need to create an affordable list of schools and I would pay attention to some of those that have been recommended.
Chasing merit means applying to schools where merit is very likely, while also throwing in a few reach schools just to see (Lehigh, Rochester, CWRU, etc). It also means applying to your state school.
Once you have a firm budget you will know more.
