<p>Hey! I'm really conflicted right now between the programs at these two schools. I received likely letters to both the M&T program at Penn and to the Egleston Scholar Program at Columbia SEAS. I'm a first generation college student so I'm "up in the air" with college decisions at the moment. At M&T I plan to major in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Economics. At Columbia, I'll be majoring in Chemical Engineering (I don't think Columbia offers a double major in different college sections, but please weight on that if you can!).</p>
<p>My ultimate goal is to get involved in a health career, whether it be through the pharmaceutical industry or clinical medicine. Of course, this conflict in vision (medicine v. industry) manifests into a conflict in college selection. Where do you think my interests would best lie between these two universities' programs? Which would be better for medical school? Which is better for industry? Any other opinions on workload, social life, internships, research and more are IMMENSELY welcomed! Thanks! :D</p>
