I’ve completed my applications but since I’ve decided not to apply to some of my safeties, I want to add another reach to my list. Now, 'm looking for a high-reach university to apply to.

Needs:
A private school that offers some merit-aid. (I will not qualify for financial aid).
A strong biomedical engineering program.
Relatively easy to switch between engineering majors.

Can’t Be:
A liberal arts college (parents have made it clear they won’t pay for it)

Nice to haves:
A creative-writing minor
Doesn’t require 2 SAT tests (I have one that’s 750+, but the other’s only 700+)
A sense of community, school spirit

It would be nice to have warm weather, but I don’t want to limit myself geographically.
