<p>I'm in and planning (right now, at least) on EE.
Still have to make a decision though among a few schools.</p>
<p>yeah, the walk looks terrible....:(</p>
<p>I'm got in but am undecided within Engineering. =) want to go, but not sure if i can =(</p>
<p>bbtadd1ct: why not?</p>
<p>accepted into chem engineering - choosing b/w cornell, columbia, and cooper, any advice?</p>
<p>Falcky:</p>
<p>Just financial issues. I'm hoping to talk to my dad about it again and perhaps with my school counselors. Hopefully I can get a better offer from the Financial Aid Office. =</p>
<p>bbtadd1ct: I wish you lots of luck. I'm sure you'll get that letter with some awesome financial aid, don't worry about it!</p>
<p>I got into biological and environmental engineering.
whats the difference between that and just biological engineering?</p>
<p>maybe its a combination of both bio engineering and environmental engineering..cus i got into chemical and biomolecular engineering..so im wondering if its mostly chemistry..or biomolecular stuff..</p>
<p>I think it's just the department.</p>
<p>cuz i applied to bioengineering and they did the same thing to me....</p>
<p>Hey Guys welcome to cornell and congrats on your admissions. Next year I will be a sophomore in the college of engineering. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm also from california (bay area), and all I have to say is enjoy the weather while you can. It snowed yesterday (April 5th). =*(</p>
<p>same here, billabongdude44 </p>
<p>I wonder if we'll be making the choice between biology and environment in upper years?</p>
<p>i'm having second thoughts about majoring in chemical engineering...im thinking of switching to biomedical engineering..i really like chemistry but im not sure if chem engineering will include a lot of chem in it..</p>
<p>yunnii, depends what "a lot of chem" is. I'm under the impression chem eng has a lot of physical chem not so much organic chem. Reverse for biomed eng I think.</p>
<p>THERE IS NO BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING MAJOR. However there is a BME minor.</p>
<p>The difference in biological and environmental are the classes. There is an environmental engineering concentration in BEE, or a biological engineering concentration. The names tell you the difference.</p>
<p>Chemical engineering is quite varied and a lot of the classes are cross-listed with required classes for a BME minor, which Cornell does offer. Cheme has to take honors P-chem sophomore year and then a lot of chemical engineering classes in addition to organic chem and general chem. Biological engineers take general chem, then organic, and you don't even have to take p-chem. BEE focuses a lot more on applications of what you learn in fluids and dynamics and solids and thermodynamics to real-world systems. So does cheme, with flow rates and fluid dynamics. </p>
<p>For cheme, you will have to take a lot of chemistry, but the upper level classes have a lot of biomolecular applications with thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. But in order to even understand that stuff, you have to learn physical chemistry.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got into cornell engineering as well. Not sure what I want to major in for sure, but first i need to decide between cornell and hopkins, at which I got into the biomedical engineering program.</p>
<p>reignfire22: Being from Baltimore and being an engineering student at Cornell, I'd pick Cornell. Then again, I guess it just felt like a nice change of pace going from a crowded metropolitan area to a little town in central NY. Baltimore is definitely a nice city with tons to do - the whole area around the inner harbor and Fells Point and Federal Hill is really, really nice. Also tons of good live music, both the local music scene and tons of bigger acts coming through Rams Head Live, Sonar Nightclub, the Recher Theatre, and The 8x10 Club. Really, it depends on the type of setting you are looking for. A major city or a tiny town in NY.</p>
<p>Is it difficult to transfer from the CAS to the CoE?</p>
<p>No. At least I don't think so. People say if you are in CAS or Engineering you can easily transfer anywhere.</p>
<p>is there a pure Computer science major?</p>
