<p>You asked about Case Western. My son is looking at the school and a friend’s daughter loves it there. We also lived nearby for a few years while I worked in Cleveland. While my son is interested in Computer Science and not Aerospace Engineering, we were impressed with the seriousness of the students. The gender mix is a little more even than most engineering schools. Plus Case is ABET-accredited in Aerospace Engineering (we’re only looking at ABET-accredited schools, except for U of Maryland). My son’s stats are close to yours, so admission wouldn’t be as difficult as the other schools you’ve mentioned. You can check out the admission thread on the Case Western page on CC and get a better idea of your chances for admission and scholarships, and ask about the school. </p>
