I’ll look into to other schools, but because of cost I’m basically constrained to UCs (which I’ve heard prioritize GPA) and “prestigious” privates.

Would you be including UCM and UCR in your UC application list?

But there is likely a wider range of affordable colleges with engineering majors, including CSUs and colleges offering large merit scholarships.
