[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got into both and chose Virginia Tech. Graduated ChemE.

I really don’t think it matters other than cultural fit of the overall university, and there are innumerable threads on that.

I do vehemently disagree with the “challenged by cohort” and grad school argument PPs have made.  At one time VT Engineering quietly pulled everybody over 1500 into a separate intro track class and that was my cohort. It was about 70-80 freshman total. Students from that intro class got into Stanford PhD, Caltech PhD, and Princeton PhD just off the top of my head.  [/quote]

Do you like ChemE?  My kid is a freshman ChemE major at a different school.  How are the career opportunities upon graduation?  I've heard there are a broad range of career directions with ChemE you can take.[/quote]

Both my kids are studying ChemE and I studied ChemE. My advisor says that we are just over priced plumbers!!!  I never worked a day as a ChemE. Instead worked as a quant at a bank, hedge fund asset manager [/quote]

My med student did chemE undergrad and finds med school easy :) OP, look at the coop opportunities and employment rates after graduation.  Engineering and medical professions are glorified difficult trades. It's all about placement into jobs. [/quote]
