White Male OOS, middle income
COE: https://www.engin.umich.edu/about/facts/
LSA: https://admissions.umich.edu/apply/freshmen-applicants/student-profile
Looks like acceptance rates are similar in both LSA and COE, and your scores are also median for both schools.
OOS will be your toughest hurdle. Either way you go, you may likely receive a deferral decision in EA and roll into regular admission. Most do so don’t let that panic you.
Pick the program you prefer. If you want to explore, try LSA. If you are steadfast about engineering, take the COE route. Best of luck.
Go Blue!
