<p>Hmmmm. That’s good to know UCBChemEGrad. My son will be an Engineering Undeclared major in the fall, but he is seriously considering Chemical Engineering. Does this apply to the Chemical Engineering program as well? I know this isn’t the right forum for this, but since I’m here. hahaha</p>
<p>^ Chemical engineering program is larger/more popular than chemistry…but it is in the same College of Chemistry. My experience at Cal as an undergrad was fantastic. It is true that tremendous opportunities are available, but you have to be proactive and ask about the resources under your nose. Otherwise, you can be the anonymous kid that studies on his/her own and only show up for classes on test days…it’s up to you.</p>
<p>One note: admissions for Engineering Undeclared is tougher than applying directly as a Chemical Engineering major - IMO. If your son doesn’t like ChemE, he can always transfer out of the College of Chemistry…it’s quite common - only about 1/2 of the students starting the ChemE program graduate with a BS in ChemE.</p>
<p>This is hilarious. Gugupo’s posts could crack up anyone and everyone. And, since I am left no choice, I will utilize Gugupo’s assessment strategy. Average salary of Wharton undergraduate > every other degree… average salary of Wharton M&T undergraduate = 3x more than every other degree…</p>
<p>A school at the supposedly easiest ivy to get into (which gugupo got rejected from) generates the most income for its graduates by far…</p>
<p>Gugupo… we will end up making 400x your salary, while you cook our burgers at McDonalds… good luck and good night.</p>
<p>And before, you start asking for evidence… here it is…

<p>And that is for single degree graduates at Wharton too…</p>
<p>From your beloved US News.</p>
<p>This is seriously inane. Why do people expend energy on citing irrelevant articles to compare schools that really don’t need to be compared? Rankings are meaningless. Median salaries are meaningless. If you want to succeed during and after college, then you will be able to do so regardless of where you go (to a certain extent), if you are willing to put in the effort. Some people will prefer UCB to Penn, and some will choose the alternate. Each person has his own criteria… These arguments are pointless and accomplish nothing.</p>
<p>Can’t we all just discuss the original question?
Talk about the pros and cons of going to each school!
This is certainly not a contest of prestige, but we’re supposed to be giving advice on which college this person should choose: Berkeley or UPenn.
I’m experiencing the same dilemma myself.
So please, STOP FIGHTING!</p>
