If you google the “common data sets” for both schools (which encapsulates the entire student body, not the more stringent engineering admissions), you’ll see that both will be very difficult for you.

1. Meet w/your Guid counselor and ask him/her where other engineering hopefuls have targeted.

2. re-take your ACT. A 26 composite limits you greatly.

3. you may be over-involved in ECs. Curb some and focus more on your GPA and prepping to re-take ACT. Which ones? That’s for you to decide. At this point, none of them will assist you in getting into any college. Indeed, they may be severely limiting you due to your GPA/ACT. …

You got plenty of good advice in your other threads too. Your ACT is simply too low to make you competitive for lots of selective engineering programs. Indeed, this might not be the field for you unless you’re killing it in your chem/physics/calculus courses
