<p>Case Western would be a good school for you to look into. If you get the ACT scores your hoping for you would be a good applicant. Around 8000 students attend Case, however, half of them are graduate students. I know several kids who attend Case and they all love it (the weather not withstanding). All of them are either science or engineering majors. It is much like Carnegie Mellon but they usually offer better financial aid. Our D was accepted there and with her merit aid and need based financial aid it was close in cost to the instate school she was accepted to even with their scholarship. She chose to go elsewhere but it ended up being a much larger school. The male/female ratio I believe is in the 55/45 range. </p>
