You don't have any chance at any of those schools..

You should try for U of IC or Rose-Hulman IT or like UCSD or Georgia/Virginia Tech or something.. I don't know.. go to review.com and fill out a search`

your best bets are Columbia ED, but even there your chances are really low. Write some outstanding essay or something and you might get in. Raise your SAT score. Also apply to UMD-College Park. You will most probably get in, and it's a really good engineering school.
