<p>^ Michigan has a terrific engineering school but not much in the way of merit aid. You might also look at Wisconsin-Madison and Minnesota, both good engineering programs in locations where it’s easy to do the outdoor rec you want. Especially Nordic skiing, but others too. With your stats both should be easy matches/possible safeties, neither has a cap on OOS admits, and at least at Minnesota they’re doing quite a bit of merit aid these days—don’t know about Wisconsin.</p>
