<p>Case Western, Rose Hulman (merit aid, some need-based)
Harvey Mudd, Rice, Caltech, MIT (“meet need”, and in MIT’s case, astoundingly well depending on your EFC)</p>
<p>My son, with very few ECs (but those he had were related to his interests), got into all of these (except MIT which he didn’t apply to). I don’t think your ECs are that bad - just present them enthusiastically, not apologetically, in your essays.</p>
