you have very good academics and eagle scouts is impressive. rpi is a great school and you could go for very cheap because of your scholarship. shoot for rice, duke, vanderbilt, and washu, you might get in if your essays are very good. you have pretty solid shots at georgia tech, notre dame, uva, florida, umich. uiuc is a good school which you have a high chance of acceptance at as well, same with uga. good luck wherever you go
