“I am open to all sorts of schools, but my only requirement is that it is not an engineering only school, as I hope to minor in other subjects.”
Ok, but then you have GT and VT as schools you’re considering and those are tech schools. As others have said, a lot depends on what you want to minor in. If you want to minor in business or a science that’s one thing, if you want to minor in a foreign language say, then you’d be better off at CMU, UVA.
Also engineering safety schools almost by definition, would be the less selective, public or private schools in state, as tk21769 points out. When I was applying, PSU and Rutgers would have been safeties for you, but those were the good ole days, and you don’t want to assume that now.
