Location/Region: Not too far from Northeast of U.S., fine with Cali as long as its like one of the better schools (Cali is VERY far from where I'm at)?
Major: Either Biomed, Mech, or Elec. Engineering or CS -- thinking of minoring in french
GPA/Test Scores (optional): 3.82/4.0 UW -- 1330 SAT (My school doesnt do weighted -- (the gpa i gave is cumulative as of Junior Year, they didnt weigh Freshman, had 3.71 sophomore and 3.95 in junior))
Curriculum: Not that rigorous for freshman, good for keeping a good gpa,
Size: Big enough so that classes arent too small while not so big that you dont know anyone in your classes.
Costs: Yes I will be needing aid, my efc is ~8k
Schools you're currently looking at (if any): Northwestern, Northeastern, Davidson, NYU, Wake Forest, CWRU, Lehigh, Skidmore, University of Rochester, Susquehanna, CUNY City, and CUNY Brooklyn.

Additional: I'm significantly younger than I'm supposed to be graduating so I'm looking for a less toxic school environment (competitive/social wise)

#

Edit: I may take October SAT to boost my score to 1400+

#

Edit #2: Also wanna switch out davidson 🙂

I would maybe take a look at Pitt and BU

I’m not that familiar with their biomedical engineering program, but I know in medical disciplines they tend to be very good, and there are lots of local internships and research opportunities available, I’m not familiar at all with their mechanical engineering program but I know there CS is good, and they have been rapidly expanding their School of Computing and Information, Pittsburgh is also a great city. I’m unsure how much aid they would give, but i’ve heard that they give lots of merit.

Not sure about to rigor, but I'd put RPI on your list

#

Also any top engineering school is going to be very rigorious
