also...
I decided what I want to do with my life (ie how far i wanna go in school etc) and decided then what schools are best for that from reputation. I also looked into the fact that I'm going into aerospace engineering and the space center is right next door. So if location is important, then think about that.
If you are tied comletely bewteen the 2 majors (and bear in mind you still have a year) you can always start with one major and change to the other. or if you are really studious you could double major (but not too many people would suggest that with engineering). you could minor in one of them.
a minor is basically like studying the subject enough to get a pretty good understanding of it. but not enough to get a degree in it.
You also need to look at the price of a school. after financial aid and any scholarships you get (be them private or from the school) what is the cost to me or my parents? if it is too much then you need to rethink your plans.
But what is most important is when you narrow down your choices, tour the schools. you can get a feel for how much you would like being there by actually walking around the campus. talk to admissions and financial aid. if you can talk to career services and ask them the employment rate of the graduates with you future major. Once you've made a decision or even before, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call the school. They should be willing to help.
I hope that helped some. And have fun looking at colleges
