<p>Hi guys. So i am going to be a senior next year and because i want to go into petroleum engineering, and there are only a few select school that offer it, i just want to know what my chances are at these schools and if you think I'll be eligible for any sorts or merit scholarships. </p>
<p>Also can someone tell me if it is smarter to go into nuclear engineering than petroleum engineering? (I know P. eng is not a dying field but i just want to know if nuclear energy will be taking over rapidly within the next 20-30 years).... or are there also any other "energy" related majors that i should look at.</p>
<p>Also could someone recommend other schools that i should look at.</p>
