I only scanned the thread, so if these things were covered, I apologize.
First and foremost, I didn’t see a safety. Regardless what the rest of your application looks like, with a 3.6x, you need to expand your list. A safety is a school that is a guaranteed admit, that is guaranteed to be affordable without counting on any hopeful scholarships.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, if you have ANY interest in engineering, you need to limit your list to schools that have the engineering discipline that you want. The alternative is to write off engineering as an option if you end up at one of those schools.
NOTE: For those who care, ABET is very important, except when it isn’t. Schools like Caltech and Stanford, with long records of strong engineering can break the rules, because they essentially wrote/write the rules. That should not be seen as saying all non-ABET accredited programs are OK. There’s a big difference between a school that can’t get it and schools that have electively dropped it.
