There are a lot of reaches on your list. Florida State OOS is probably a low match for you, if not a safety. You should be fine there. UT-Austin OOS and on up your list, though, includes no gimmes.

I’d consider applying to some of these as well - high quality matches:

U of Rochester (high match)

Boston U (high match/match)

Tulane (high match)

Wake Forest (high match)

Georgia Tech (high match/match)

Purdue (match)

RPI (match)

Lehigh (high match/match)

Find out which state schools have your desired Engineering track and consider applying to them also. The Big Ten schools, in particular, tend to have excellent Engineering programs - don’t stop at Purdue if they don’t have what you desire.

Finally, if you love Chicago, consider applying to Northwestern also. It’s a reach, but you never know…

Good luck!
