<p>I currently have an excel worksheet of all of the Chemical Engineering schools that I am interested in. Below I have them listed by rank, averaging the "Chance I Have Being Accepted" with the "Quality of the School & It's Chemical Engineering Program". For example, Cornell is the best quality school on my list, yet when averaging the chance I have of being accepted, which it is last on my list, it becomes number 16 overall. If you could just take a look at the list I have below and give your opinion on things such as if you think I am missing a good school, or if one of the schools really doesn't belong on my list, that would be very appreciated! Thank you!</p>

<p>I am from Missouri, I’m motivated to leave the state, in fact I would rather study abroad but engineering can be a difficult task overseas. As of this moment I am not entirely worried about tuition cost, but I am aware of the fact that it is more difficult to get accepted out of state, and that the tuition is greatly affected as well.</p>
<p>To be honest, I haven’t researched many of those schools, considering my college pool is pretty different. However, I know for UT-Austin (I’m from Texas), the applicant pool is pretty much 75% from auto-admit from the top 10%ers in Texas, meaning that you’re fighting for only 25% of the spots left (both in state non-top 10% and out of state). This might reduce your chances pretty signficantly</p>
<p>The list would depends on your credential. You did not include the top 3 ChemE on the list which may indicate something, but it would hard to comment on it without knowing you more.</p>
<p>If you would like to study outside the country, you may want to look at schools in Canada: McGill, Waterloo, Toronto etc. Their programs are accredited by Engineers Canada and ABET accepts that accreditation as equivalent to its own.</p>
<p>I don’t know it slipped my mind not to include my information! I will post it now, hopefully it is not too late! And dvl2014 I have no intentions on attending a party school, and any correlation is merely coincidental.</p>

<p>You are only in Junior year, so you still have time to improve your GPA and ACT scores. You current stat is not quite at the level for at least half of the schools on the list. Aim at 33+ in ACT.</p>
<p>Daughter considered and visited six of the schools on you list. She fell in love at Minnesota-TC. She’s in their ChemE program and is really enjoying it, loves her professors and all the clubs and activities there. It’s also 4th in the nation for ChemE.</p>
<p>I agree with BigBadDad… UMinn is the way to go for Chem Engg. My D has got into wherever she has applied for Fall 2014 incl. GTech, Wisc-Mad, Purdue, RPI, JHU, Maryland, Pitt, CMU (we are in PA). Only one remaining is UCB and we will decide between UMinn and UCB.</p>
<p>Please tell me what chance do i have for UMN twin cities chemical engineering undergrad. I am an international student. from India</p>
