I agree with other responses that what you really need are some financial safeties, which is a very different concept than admission safeties. Unless you live in Georgia and are going to have the Hope/Zell scholarship for full tuition to Ga Tech, you don’t have any affordable places on your list right now. Some colleges with up to full tuition or full ride (including tuition, room and board) scholarships for out of state students with your stats that also have ABET accredited aerospace engineering programs include Alabama as already mentioned, plus U Alabama Huntsville, Arizona, Arizona State, Case Western, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi State, North Carolina State, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, University at Buffalo (SUNY), West Virginia, and Virginia Tech. Amazing how none of these universities made it onto your list. Some of these places will guarantee you a fantastic scholarship if you just apply by the deadline and get admitted. You should especially check out U Alabama Huntsville because it has loads of aerospace internship opportunities right there, and has a full ride guaranteed for students with your stats. You didn’t mention your GPA, but I assume it’s high. Check out UAH links below and read all about the scholarship, and why Huntsville (known as Rocket City) is great for someone with your interests. If you don’t have to have aerospace engineering, then also consider University of Houston – it has a full ride scholarship for NMF, and is right there by NASA-Houston with all the related companies that do business with NASA. I’ve also given you a link to University of Houston’s engineering programs which include the other kinds of engineering majors that you are considering.
