<p>hey, im a junior in high school currently, and i want to become a chemist of some sort. Im not quite sure whether i want to do chemE or just chemistry, maybe with a biochem concentration. Here are the schools im applying to </p>

<p>university of michigan
wisconsin madison
john hopkins
cornell
rensselaer polytech
university of illinois at urbana champaign
carnegie mellon </p>

<p>Could you tell me which of these schools would probably have the strongest undergrad chemistry program. Also, could you tell me any other schools that i should consider. I live in michigan, and im trying to stay in the general area. Im interrested in combined programs. For instance, u of M has a five year program where you double major in chem and chem E. Any suggestion</p>

<p>berkeley has a chem college.. its damn good</p>

<p>i think berkeley is a little to much of a reach for me. It doesn't help that i live in Michigan</p>

<p>I have the same question - what are top 20/25 overall? best LAC's?
Good info about Michigan's joint program, I'm checking it out.</p>

<p>Thanks all</p>
