<p>You will probably end up at a school like Texas A&M–colleges aren’t particularly fond of the lazy genius. However, once you expand your list of lesser-ranked schools (check which ones have rolling admissions), you should end up at a school that offers you great resources once you look for them. </p>
<p>Also keep in mind that bigger schools with good engineering departments (being from North Carolina, I"m using NCSU as my reference point) are less selective because of their massive student body but have great research opportunities and accomplished professors, especially in the realm of engineering.</p>
