<p>Hey,
Rose-Hulman and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities are my two top choices for undergraduate school. I have been accepted at both but am having trouble deciding which school to go two. Which school will I have a better Chemcial Engineering education?</p>
<p>I also plan to go to grad. school after I graduate. Which school will I have a better chance at getting into a top graduate program for Chemical engineering? (MIT, Berkeley, Stanford...)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If you can handle the large school, The U of M is the school to go to. Their ChemE Program is consistently ranked in the top 5 in the country, many years 1st. Rose-Hulman is also a good program, but I don't think it is as recognized as the U. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm completely biased towards the U of M, or better or worse. Just letting you know where I'm coming from. Go Gophers!</p>
<p>You have an interesting decision and that is large school or small school both are ranking high in Chemical Engineering (According to US News). Rose is ranked number 1 in schools withour a Phd program. </p>
<p>I am going through a similar decision right now with U of Michigan and Rose and had similar thoughts. I talked to several people on this "in the industry" and both have respect. The bottom line is where you feel you would fit in the best. Visit both and see how life really is. </p>
<p>I really liked Rose it has a lot to offer "except the town". The professors are teaching and available, small classes, and great campus. </p>
<p>Good luck with your decision</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. But which school is more recognized by grad. schools such as MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Cal Tech....?</p>
<p>Since Rose-Hulman has one of the best undergrad programs among schools at the non-PhD level and UofM-TC has one of the best chemE grad programs - and you are leaning towards both right now anyway - why not R-H for undergrad and UofM-TC for grad?</p>

<p>Either one. MBSC is not going to favor one over the other. Just do well in your coursework, take advantage of the resources available at each school and try to get involved with some research and/or internship experience. These schools are going to be accepting * you*, not your school's name.</p>
<p>You have to think about where you'll do well, visit the schools, see what people do in their spare time, if their educational resources fit your needs. These two schools will probably be the same for grad school admissions as far as reputation is concerned. the most important things for grad school is research experience, gpa, and letter of rec.</p>
<p>Make sure you visit each school and find out as much as you can about the students, who they are, what they do for fun, etc...because going to either school is going to get you a very good degree, whether you want to go into industry or go onto grad school.</p>
<p>I'm a bit biased towards R-H, but anyone in industry or academia will tell you that going to Rose-Hulman will definitely not disadvantage you compared to the University of Minnesota.</p>
<p>Thank you for all of the advice!!!</p>
