I agree. As a strong female FGLI applicant with an assured affordable school in the bag, it’s time to aim high. Stanford, CMU, Cornell, Princeton.

What about Notre Dame? I believe they have ABET-certified CompE, and they are very wealthy and so might get where you need on aid.
WashU is another very wealthy Midwest university with a reasonably popular CompE major, but it is not ABET-certified:
I have seen some people suggest this is not really an issue for CS or CompE, and in fact in this older thread an official from WashU explained why they decided not to seek ABET certification for CS or CompE:
But I have no independent basis for an opinion on that subject.
In the East, along with the usual suspects, you might check out the NPCs at Hopkins and Boston University.
But then you go look for a CE job and many say this:
COMPUTER ENGINEER
To be acceptable, the program must:
(1) lead to a bachelor’s degree in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by ABET
Computer Engineer, Level 1
- Bachelor of Science in an ABET (Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology) accredited Engineering discipline (Telecommunication/Electrical/Electronic/Computer/Network and Security preferred)
Grand Valley would give you instate tuition plus 11k off, so ~14k a year. The engineering school is in downtown Grand Rapids, MI and the main campus is in Allendale, MI. For Grand Valley, also apply for the Thompson Working Family Scholarship. With high stats plus high need, you could get a full ride even being out of state with this scholarship. I am a current student that has a full ride with the scholarship if you have any questions😊
Also, the engineering program is a co-op program if that is of any appeal.

That’s a little odd, since it does not require that the actual computer engineering major has ABET accreditation.

Perhaps - but I just pulled the first two I saw.
One should get ABET. This way, you needn’t worry.
