<p>I was just wondering if anyone here got into college of engineering and what their major is going to be. Just to see numbers I guess...and out of curiosity.</p>
<p>I got into the bioengineering program back in december.
And I'm female, but none of my friends that go there have any idea how many females major bioengineering. anyone else know?</p>
<p>There were 7 women out of 13 freshmen in Bioengineering in 2005, and 15 out of 53 total (28%). Computer Engineering has 44 women out of 566 (7.8%)!</p>
<p>"chemical...but that's in that netherworld between LAS, school of chem. sciences, and engineering"</p>
<p>Not actually a netherworld. Chem E is in LAS because when they started Chem E over 100 tears ago, the engineering college did not have facilities for it. They decided to just leave it that way. Chem E follows the engineering college both as to what is needed for admission (such as class rank/test score) and as to engineering course requirements.</p>
<p>Chemistry (not chem E) usual middle 50% class rank/test score for admission is actually between what is usually shown for engineering and what you will see as middle 50% for LAS.</p>
<p>My daughter will also be in bioengineering at UIUC next year. I think I've read that generally there tends to be a higher percentage of females in bioengineering/biomedical engineering than in other engineering disciplines (in most colleges, not just UIUC).</p>
<p>Any idea how large the bioengineering class will be this fall?</p>
