Economics + Aero/Mechanical Engineering

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>I know it may be stupendously weird for someone to major in both of them since it will take more time to graduate from college to start with. Now the thing is that I really really want to do both Economics and Aero Engineering at undergrad. I'm planning to transfer out of my present college beacause it doesn't have an engineering school. But where to?? I have decided to apply for THREE or FOUR (at most) schools on the list below. Please make a decision for me! </p>

<p>List: Cornell, Washington-St.Louis, UCB, UVa, NYU, Wisconsin, UIUC, USC, UCLA, Michigan.</p>

<p>Any inputs on my majors and list of schools will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Thx!</p>

<p>Btw, does anyone on this forum major in both Econ and Aero E?</p>

<p>Well, ucb doesn't offer aero - they do have mech, however.</p>

<p>NYU does not have a school of Engineering and Washington University is actually weak in Engineering. </p>

<p>I would look at the following schools for Engineering and Economics:</p>

<p>Cornell University
MIT (If your grades and credentials are excellent, this would be my first choice)
Northwestern University (no Aerospace Engineering but Mechanical Engineering)
Stanford University (see MIT)
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor</p>

<p>I would also look into:
University of Maryland-College Park
University of Wisconsin-Madison</p>

<p>Princeton?</p>

<p>Princeton is excellent in Engineering and better in Economics, but they do not accept transfers.</p>

<p>How hard is it to get into Cornell/Northwestern Eng school?</p>

<p>I heard that NYU has a 5 year chemical engineering program where you work at Stern for 3 years and spend the last two years at another place. It's 3+2 year engineering program (wesleyan also has this program).</p>

<p>I had no idea NYU has that program.... do you have a link to where I can find this?</p>

<p>No. Just call the chemistry office at NYU and ask if they had a joint chemical engineering program with another school. They'll be able to answer all your questions. You can't transfer into the program - you have to enter it right out of high school.</p>
