<p>^^ The University of Chicago would be less demanding on the EC side than Yale, Princeton, or Stanford. No engineering, but very strong math and science. They offer a few full tuition merit scholarships and a few more $10K merit scholarships (not that they’re easy to get.) Mid-sized, good all-around education (but you might prefer Northwestern, which does offer engineering.)</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins is another T20, mid-sized university that would be less demanding on the EC side than YPS. It, too, has some merit scholarships (as well as engineering).</p>
