Also, Rose Hulman has plenty of highly accomplished applicants and too many male students, so zero incentive to provide you with good merit aid.
Your best bet is to find LACs with Engineering programs: Lafayette, Bucknell, Trinity College CT, Union, Clarkson. If you can add an interest in CS, you have way more possibilities.
Applying to LACs that offer merit where being male would give you a little “boost” would seem useful.
For UMN, if you’re interested in CS, I’d advise applying for the BA in CLA (special scholarships there). Lots of good internship possibilities in the Twin Cities.
WPI may be a good bet too (it’s right outside Boston, so if you want a big change of pace and culture compared to rural Nebraska, that’d be it :p) Tulane (esp.Engineering, CS was discontinued after Katrina and has only recently been rebuilt) would also be a big change of pace and culture.
