<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>Just wondering which do you think is the better school for me? Caltech chem engineering, Columbia chem engineering, or UChicago chemistry? I would love to be an academic professor in the future, and i'm really looking for a school where i can have the opportunity to work with professors who are really renowned and knowledgeable in their field. Also, i want to have a fulfilling undergrad experience such that i will not be buried in the books all the time. Advice anyone?</p>

<p>It seems that you like schools which starts with letter C. hahaha…
But I think you should either go to either Caltech or UChicago. cos UChicago is good in artsci and Caltech is good in engineering. Columbia’s engineering isnt that great.</p>

<p>Yeah, if you want to do ChemE, don’t restrict yourself to regular chemistry at Chicago. I think it really comes down to whether you’re up for Caltech… but you said you don’t want to be buried in the books all the time. As Anthem said, “Caltech = buried in problem sets”. So it sounds like Columbia is the best choice.</p>

<p>I would go with UChicago. My friend’s parents are alumni and they are very successful now. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the school and I know you’ll do well there! Given, the other schools are great too, but I’d go with UChicago!</p>
