<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I'm interested in going into the Chemical Engineering field, as of right now I'm a transfer into the A&S (I know that I need to then internally transfer to the CoE) but I'm willing to stay at Cornell for 4 years b/c I know that the curriculum is very very rough. If anyone here is a Chemical Engineer graduate or currently pursuing this major can you please PM me. I just have a few questions, and no one that I know is really going into this field so I wanted to see what its like (i.e. Course rigor, job prospects, internships, life at Cornell in general, etc.) I will be EXTREMELY thankful to anyone who responds :)</p>
<p>Here are my stats from another thread: </p>
<p>Cornell CAS: Chemistry/Economics (now its obviously going to be ChemE and possibly Econ) - Will be a sophomore</p>
<p>HS: 4.0/4.0 (pretty competitive high school with many Ivy Leaguers)
College: 4.0/4.0 - Took 19 credits and 16 credits in the Fall and Spring semester, they're mostly 200 and 300-level courses.</p>
<p>Dropped out of high school in Junior year and received a GED. Then went to a state college, and applied to colleges half way through this year. Had some disciplinary issues and suspensions too.</p>
<p>SAT: 2330
SAT IIs: 800, 800 (Bio M, Math II)
Achievements: AMC 12 Region winner (and score in the top 1% in America), USABO semi-finalist, Nationals in FBLA, DECA, National History, Robotics. Played a sport, had a few leadership positions in high school and in college. Did various community services activities
AP exams: 5's on all 8 of them - Chemistry, Bio, Macro, Micro, Psychology, English Lang, Environmental and U.S. history (was awarded National AP scholar)</p>
<p>Essays: Pretty good general essay and okay supplement describing why I chose my major
Recs: One really good one from an Economics Professor and I don't know what my English Professor wrote... I guess it was pretty good. And I had the Dean write a recommendation and I think that one was pretty good too.</p>
