Does anyone actually care where I go to school (engineering)?

FWIW, schools that offer engineering in at least some fashion and claim to meet full financial need include:
Brown, Cornell, Cal Tech, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Harvey Mudd, Johns Hopkins, MIT, Northwestern, Princeton, Rice, Smith, Stanford, Swarthmore, Trinity College (CT), Tufts, UNC, Notre Dame, Penn, USC, UVA, Vanderbilt, Wash U (MO), Yale.

As I understand it, “Full financial need” is as they each individually define and compute it. There may be variation in award amounts, Some institutions’ computation formulas may work more favorably for your particular set of economic inputs than Cornell’s evidently has done recently.
