i'm considering applying for some of these schools: columbia university, cornell univ, standford, usc, ucla, and mit..im still not sure which type of engineering but i would really like to go to any of these schools. another problem i m facing right now is that some of these schools require an SAT 2 in either physics or chemistry. however, im a senior right now and am currently taking physics, i took chemistry when i was a sophomore so that was 2 yrs ago! should i take the chem one anyways, even though i know im not gonna do so good? or should i just not consider applying to those schools (cornell, columbia, and mit)? ..please be free to offer suggestions of other schools.

MIT and Cal Tech are the top engineering schools. Stanford (note the spelling) is also up there.
Many of the Ivy League schools have great engineering programs -- but not all of them. The truth is that engineering is the one field where the best state universities are as good or better than the best private schools.
UC Berkeley is one of the best places to go for engineering (Better than the other UC schools -- which are also good). Other public universities with great engineering programs are Georgia Tech, anything in the Big Ten (especially Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota), and the University of Texas.
