<p>Hi I'm applying to college this fall, but I'm looking for colleges that have a good chemical engineering program and that are well ranked. So far, I'll be applying to MIT, UF, and Purdue. Do you guys have any suggestions? (preferably east coast)</p>
<p>I forgot to mention I have a near 4.0 average and my first SAT was 1700 (600 cr, 560 math, 540 writing), but I’m still waiting for my new SAT score. Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>Sorry but there is NO WAY you are getting into MIT with anything under a 2100 on your SAT. I would recommend a school more like U of South Carolina or Texas A&M</p>
<p>1700 isn’t getting into Texas A&M OOS</p>
<p>I wouldn’t judge on just SAT scores, I got into a summer program at MIT (E2@MIT) with those scores.</p>
<p>Summer programs are much less selective than regular admission.</p>
<p>If you are willing to go to the midwest (Purdue), don’t overlook Minnesota.</p>
<p>But a <600 on the math SAT is not that great a sign for admission to or success in an engineering major.</p>
<p>Ok, just IGNORE the SAT scores, I took the test again anyways and I’m waiting on the new scores. Just any good recommendation. I’m not too crazy about midwest but I’ll accept recommendations.</p>
<p>If you prefer the East coast, try:</p>
<p>Georgia Tech
U of Delaware (the “DuPont U”)
Cornell
Carnegie Mellon
Penn State</p>
<p>In the midwest, I’d take Minnesota, Wisconsin and UIUC over Purdue in Chem Engineering.</p>
<p>Realistically, MIT is out. As others have pointed out, unless you can get a 700+ on the SAT Math and a total score over 2000, MIT is out of the question. </p>
<p>Three excellent programs that come to mind are:</p>
<p>University of Delaware
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
University of Wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>I will venture to give you U-Minnesota again. Great reputation. But another question might be more pertinent. Why do you want to stay on the East Coast?</p>
