<p>Solid chance of getting in! Go for the Honors Program if you get invited. I wouldn't know about the Chemical Engg. department here but I heard its quite big.</p>

<p>Btw did you ask for Chemical Engineering or Chemistry?!</p>

<p>yea. advice for your senior year, dont take so many APs. I took 10 ap classes and not alot of them counted for my premed concentration. actually 0 since i took physics c mechanics and e&m.</p>

<p>also just take the ACT or the SAT. what you have is fine so dont worry.</p>
