<p>I'm entering my last year of high school and I am trying to pick a few schools to apply to. I want to major in either engineering or architecture, so the school should have both programs. Its ok if it only has one if its a safety school. I need to get a ton of money in merit based scholarships to be able to go anywhere. Here are my stats and the colleges I am looking at, please let me know if i should add any or take off any from the list, and maybe order them in how good of a chance i have to get in? I'm really lost in my college search and I'm having trouble starting, there are so many choices! Any help is welcome.</p>
