<p>Are you looking for need based or merit aid? What concerns me about your list is that the schools most likely to admit you, the Texas schools and CMU, are not likely to give substantial aid. For the Texas schools it’s because you’re OOS and CMU is known to be weak on aid.</p>
<p>If you qualify for need based aid, look for schools that meet 100% need. Sorry I can’t be helpful with schools offering chemE, but you might try the engineering threads.</p>
