UChicago does not have Mechanical Engineering. The rest of the list looks like a nice balance of safety, target, and reach schools. I think you’ll have several great options to choose from. Good luck to you!

whatever schools on the list without engineering, I am applying for a piano performance major. For the larger universities, I think i would either minor or double major for the piano.

Please provide some more detail re APs, ACT math score, and other accelerated or STEM classes.
