@AAloneOrchid High-reach colleges with very strong bioengineering programs: Stanford, MIT, Penn, Duke, Hopkins.

Hopkins has the best bionengineering program of these 5, but all these schools have top-10 bionengineering programs and also all of them are top 10 colleges.

Regarding writing, out of these schools Stanford and Penn have the best english programs. Both Stanford and Penn have a creative writing minor. Penn also has the Kelly Writers House, which you might be interested in looking into. http://www.writing.upenn.edu/wh/

It will be difficult to find many high-reach schools that offer merit-aid since most offer only need-based aid, they do not need to offer merit. As mentioned above Duke offers merit aid and probably Hopkins too. Stanford, MIT and Penn only offer need-based aid.
