Don’t assume 1700 would be sufficient for engineering, even if English isn’t your first language, especially since you’ll then have to take classes in English that are challenging even for native speakers.
ASU is probably the easiest to get into and, if you can stay away from the parties and the noise and so forth, the one where non engineering classes wouldn’t be as hard. However, engineering classes are typically the hardest on any campus. If you want a relatively easy GPA, it’s not the right major. Engineering grades are famously lower than their counterparts, ABET accredited programs weed out like crazy, and it’s just a LOT of work. In addition, ASU is also the easiest one not to graduate from… Your GPA will essentially depend on how many hours you spend on work per hour spent in class. For engineering, 2 and a half hour for each hour spent in class would be the minimum.
Note: I find it hard to believe ASU is better-known for Chem Eng than UMN-TC or UMD in your country, but, well. Perhaps you wouldn’t get into these two engineering schools anyway so better worry about the others ;-).
