ChemE at UW-Madison or Georgia Tech?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm a transfer student for chemical engineering in junior year. Also OOS for both schools. Wanting to pursue double major in math and ChemE, and Ph.D in ChemE after graduation. </p>

<p>Both schools are well known and respected. However, in departmental rankings, UW-Madison is noticeably higher for math and chemical engineering (and other sciences as well). And provides seemingly more friendlier and relaxed atmosphere, along with very strong academics. And also lets me do the double major in a timely fashion. Also, medical school is another attracive factor (research). Intersted in MD/Ph.D. </p>

<p>Georgia Tech, on the other hand, seems very technical and rumored to be unreasonably difficult. However, I'm fine with having to learn the material thoroughly, which, to be honest, I think would occur at any respected university/institute. Their co-op program, its location, and its international prestige are all very attractive. Although I won't be able to double major in cheme and math, I can double major in chemistry and chemical engineering with some supplemental classes.</p>

<p>Also, the cost is same for both schools. </p>

<p>Please offer me some guidance!</p>

<p>Since your question is more about the schools than the transfer process, you might want to also post on the College Search & Selection (more views) or Engineering Majors (more knowledgeable members) forum.</p>

<p>Possibly the Premed Topics forum too, but that is just based on future interest in MD/PhD.</p>
