Most likely, but I’m not that familiar with admissions rates and requirements for Canadian universities. What is absolutely sure is that Canadian Universities, especially public ones, would be substantially cheaper than than the three schools I mentioned, unless these schools offered you a large amount of merit support.

Time for you to do some research on your own if I have to get phone numbers for you…LOL…They are very nice but keep in mind students are starting to go back to school now so it might be a little busy and lots of people are working from home. But they are usually good about email responses.
Your academics and extracurriculars look good. However, as an international student, you’ll need to especially emphasize your specific interests in the institutions you apply to. Admissions has to feel a very strong answer to “Why Us?,” as they won’t be as certain of your interest in college in the United States in the first place. Past “visits/programs” at UChicago (for example), internships with professors at other universities, and stellar essay responses that highlight specific, genuine, and stellar reasons for attending a particular institution will be important to stand out! As a student admitted to Harvard, among other T5s, I can assure you that the Ivy Leagues and the other top engineering schools will be even more strict and competitive on the above. However, good explanations and essays can be crafted with time and effort. Good luck!

Caltech retains ABET accreditation for mechanical engineering, but not chemical or electrical engineering. Some other schools that dropped ABET accreditation (probably because of the work involved) for some majors retained it for other majors where ABET accreditation is more likely to be needed for PE licensing purposes (especially civil engineering). But typically these are colleges with existing top-end reputations in engineering, rather than colleges starting new engineering major programs.
Chicago’s molecular engineering majors also do not fit neatly into the traditional engineering categories, and the volume of engineering courses that they require is significantly smaller than ABET accredited programs are supposed to have (engineering science + engineering design are supposed to be 3/8 of the courses or credits needed to graduate (about 16 engineering courses out of the minimum of 42 that Chicago requires generally; the actual molecular engineering majors require 10-11 engineering courses). But they do not seem like the majors where PE licensing would be commonly sought.
