Don’t know if UM is likely but the rest I agree with. You have a strong background. If you waited more ‘likely’ strong programs after UM, Purdue and Cornell, you can go Penn State, UMN and Wisconsin, all strong. But MSU works and you’d get Honors but don’t just jump to Honors. See what it entails and if it interests you.
I don’t get Kettering for your interest. There’s a gazillion schools that will meet your interest. Since you have Cornell, you’re willing to go more than a few hours away
if you get NMF and can go for free or close to, but not at this list, does that open your mind to others, likely in the South ?
