If you are serious about engineering - go to an engineering school. However, engineering is not a major you should try to pepper in 2 full on other concentrations with. you will do justice to none if you try to squeeze in too many things with engineering. the maximum you can blend in with a proper engineering major is 1 unrelated minor. any more and you will be a weak engineering graduate.

I just want to second this. Take French as a minor, then do a masters’ degree in France and become fluent then.

Also, as UCLAslife mentioned, your stats are great (kudos), but be prepared with “matches” because even if statistically you’re a match for those 3 schools, your chances of getting in are still in less than 1/10 or even 1/20 because pretty much everyone else applying has stats as good or better. Luck plays a big part as well.

Since you want a small school and engineering, I’d pick Dartmouth. (though if you decide you’re fine with a larger school, Penn is arguably better for engineering)
