<p>I like chemistry. But mechanical engineering is more branched out. Should I major in mechanical e and keep my foot in the door for chem e? Cuz then, I'd get a better feel on what's really good for me.</p>
<p>also, should I apply to Brown and Duke and Wash U - SL? they got nice com s, a major im considering, but I don't see them on any engineering rankings (except for duke on mech e)</p>
<p>help out. tkx</p>
<p>also USC and columbia</p>
<p>Put this in the engineering forum.</p>
<p>I just want to know if it'd be worthwhile to apply to these schools. I'm looking for a school with good com s, mech e, and chem e (maybe aero space). Brown, duke, Wash U, USC and columbia are good at at least at one of those. But I'm looking for a college that is good at all of them and still have a double digit acceptance rate - if you catch my drift.</p>
<p>... which leads to another question. If a school has a high engineering ranking, can it be assumed that it is good at all types of engineering? On the contrary, can a low ranked engineering program be outright awesome in just one field of engineering?</p>
<p>buuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmpppp</p>
<p>Post this in the Engineering Forum as well. You'll get more responses over there. </p>
<p>If the reason you're considering chemical engineering is that you like chemistry, then you shouldn't major in chemE. It's very little chemistry, and mostly physics, contrary to popular belief.</p>
<p>Last year, I heard very bad things about the engineering school at WUSTL. They made some major changes since, so I'm not sure how it is nowadays.</p>
