I think you have a fine chance of being admitted. Your test scores look consistent so that’s good. Your grades, other than the C, look fine. Could your counselor explain you were sick during the exam? It’s not an excuse, just an explanation. Will the As you’ve earned since then show up on your transcript so admissions will see the improvement? When did you transfer to the more competitive school–at the beginning of 12th grade? If so, that could be useful for admissions to know. Your extracurriculars look great. I would think, if there are any inconsistencies, someone like a counselor or other school official should explain.

The engineering program is terrific; I know at least two students in the program and they love it!

Regarding financial aid, all you can do is state what you can afford through the required forms and see what happens. Good luck!
