Northeast Merit Scholarships

I’m wondering what schools you’ve been able to find that have given good merit scholarships at northeast & mid Atlantic colleges. I have a 1360, 4.0 UW and 4.5 w, and decent extracurriculars. I would prefer schools in cities in the northeast/mid Atlantic, but I know it’s crazy difficult. Oh, and I could probably afford up to Rutgers (so like 36k with tuition and other fees).
