<p>Don’t expect very selective schools to shower you with merit aid. Many of them don’t even offer it (they attract top students without it). Chicago offers a few merit scholarships (10K or full tuition); near-perfect stats would be necessary but not sufficient to get it. However, Chicago does not offer engineering. Johns Hopkins offers a few merit scholarships and does have engineering programs.</p>
<p>Cooper Union and Olin are two schools with strong engineering programs that offer free or reduced tuition for all students.</p>
