Texas Resident Aiming for Top Engineering [3.96 UW, 1580 SAT, Industrial Engineering, finance(?)] [top 13% rank, <$34k]

MIT is tuition free for families with income below &200k so that would be great…if you can get in. You have a shot. It’s a Reach for everyone. Stanford is tuition free below $150k income so you should qualify for good aid there too…again if you can get in. Northwestern may not be as generous so definitely run NPC

I think you have a good shot at A&M and Texas even though you are not auto admit.

Good luck!!
