<p>Hi, I was accepted to NYU Poly, RPI, and Stony Brook. I am wondering which school is the best for chemical engineering. My top two choices right now are NYU Poly and RPI. I have recieve my student aid and scholarships, and both school would have the same tuition. </p>
<p>Which school is better in CHEMICAL ENGINEERING?</p>
<p>RPI is the best for chemical engineering and for engineering overall.</p>
<p>I was planning to get my docotrate after my I recieve my bachelors. Since nyu poly is a part of nyu, I was hoping that it would be easier to get ib to nyu for a doctorate. I also know that rpi is good for chemical engineering but its not where I want to be located</p>
<p>The Engineering program (including chemical engineering) at NYU-Poly is okay but not great. Are you really sure you want to study engineering? Which field do you want to study for your doctorate?</p>
<p>Stony Brook is ranked higer in engineering (ironically) than NYU-poly. I would suggest you to consider Stony Brook as it gives you more options in case if you find out engineering is not for you. Plus, the doctorate programs at stony brook are just as good as the ones at NYU. It is also much less expensive so you can save money to do other things such as starting a business, investments, and getting married. In fact, I would say Stony Brook would be the best choice if you are open to do a doctorate at schools other than NYU.</p>
<p>I am planning on getting my doctorate for medicine. I know stony brook is a good school but I have been asking my friends who go to stony brook and they did not like the university.</p>
<p>RPI is the best but Stony Brook is very good as well and I think it would be a better choice than NYU-Poly.</p>
<p>FWIW, as a student my experience has been that the quality of your college experience is 90-95% a function of your attitude. There may be aspects of the student life at Stony Brook that are subpar…that’s life. You can be proactive or reactive, and choosing the former will make your experience much better.</p>
<p>As a NYU-Poly graduate, I work with other engineers from MIT, Princeton, etc… Your college experience is what you make of it. I would go where the overall fit is better for you. Schenectady and downtown Brooklyn are 2 completely different environments. You have to decide if that is important to you. Also keep in mind that Poly has a Farmingdale campus. The chemical engineering labs are in Brooklyn, but they send you over in a school bus, at least they used to. Do some digging about specific options that you care about, and you will come up with a better decision.</p>
<p>If you are ultimately interested in medicine then you should look at the engineering programs that are most supportive of this kind of goal. You may want to focus on schools that have chemical/biological research options, close ties to a medical school, and strong pre-med advising programs. Understandably most engineering programs focus on turning out great engineers, academicians, and researchers- not so much great MDs.</p>
