Match me. Weak GPA (2.9 UW), strong ACT (29) Ohio resident

A few questions to help us help you more efficiently:
Are you currently taking Precalculus, Precalculus Honors, Calculus Honors, or AP Calculus?
Which APs have you taken or are you taking? If you took the tests, what scores did you get?
What’s your school’s average ACT?

Are you Pell eligible?

Do you know your EFC?
(If not you can go there:

The EFC is the minimum parents can expect to have to pay.)
Can your parents afford it? (Most can’t so you’d have to focus on instate puics and colleges with merit aid for your stats).

UCincinnati Engineering is a reach but worth trying, especially for co-op. They may branch you.
Seconding Iowa State, Penn State Behrend (if you have the budget), uToledo, ULouisville as solid possibilities.
UDayton is a superb idea from @Austennut -finding such colleges for Computer Engineering is not an easy task (I immediately thought of Ohio Wesleyan which would be a solid match but they don’t have CE).
Youngstown State: you could ask for Honors College (your GPA is a bit low but your ACT may make up for it and explaining what makes you tick intellectually and how their program would fit you would give you a solid shot.) And their college of Engineering is ABET accredited.
