Temple and Rowan would be good safeties/matches.

Temple (Philadelphia, PA) offers automatic merit scholarships. For your stats, they would offer you full tuition + a spending stipend. It is a good school with a rising reputation. From what I hear, its nursing program is decent. Its engineering department doesn’t really have a reputation yet, but it is still growing. The school has almost 40,000 students, but you would probably get into the Honors program, which has under 3,000 students.

If you decide to go into engineering/science, Rowan (in Glassboro, NJ) has a great STEM program, and offers up to full tuition in merit. With a 2200 SAT and 4.0 UW GPA, I was offered $15,000 (3/4 tuition). If you like the east coast, it is worth looking into. It is a new campus–very pretty and clean cut. It does not have the hustle-and-bustle-city-vibe that Temple has–this could be either a pro or con, depending on your personal preferences.
