<p>Cornell, CMU, UIUC are all more selective than Umich engineering, but to different degrees. However, that is only judging by SAT scores (or at least how I remember them). Umich may be more selective than CMU if you apply from out of state. UIUC’s average is a 1377, CMU a 1387.
Georgia Tech, judging by SAT (1339) is comparable.
Other schools to consider: Purdue, Wisconsin, UTexas, Rose Hulman, RPI, Penn State.</p>
