<p>Aurelius,
I think I'm pretty sure about chemE because I read the U.S. News rankings specifically for chemE. Thus, I'm probably talking more on the terms of SEAS' chemE being not as good. I've talked to lots of chemEs (my dad's one too) and they say that it might even be a disadvantage to go to UPenn for chemE.</p>

<p>Need Help:</p>

<p>Duke for BME/Economics (its fairly easy to double major), Penn (BioE, but difficult to get dual degree) and full tuition at Vandy</p>

<p>Im really struggling.</p>

<p>thank you anonymous99!!!!</p>

<p>you're welcome; for the record, I'm also waitlisted!</p>

<p>a minor correction regarding my post just in case I gave off a false impression: I did not mean to say that SEAS is not good, I just meant to say that the other schools at Penn (Wharton, The Nursing School, and even CAS) are better ranked in their fields than SEAS is ranked in engineering.</p>

<p>I'm turning down Penn... for the University of Maryland College Park.</p>

<p>I also got into Northwestern, Columbia, Cornell, and Hopkins (BME), but I can't turn down a full ride. Especially when I didn't get any aid. Yeah.</p>

ROUGH.</p>

<p>yay for txt limits.</p>

<p>maxy: yes, but BioE and CompE seem to be the exceptions to that. Of course CompE at Penn has a very long history of being good (ENIAC etc.) and BioE is quite mature and regarded (partly due to the awesome med school)</p>
