I would add chemical engineering as well. Some top schools like Georgia Tech offer a Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering degree.

Yes. Those are the top areas, and the molecular side of ChemE is rising fast

No. several top schools stopped offering it or never did

I would take a math or physics major over engineering.

Only if you want to work in finance.
