<p>thanks boomer01 and h88
yes it is for engineering most likely chemical

which universities should be my safety option...</p>
<p>You are pretty much in at UIUC(even though they are cutting down on international students, tho) and JHU, but you never know about MIT.</p>

<p>ya, MIT might be a reach, but go for it. If you really want to go there, then make sure you put the effort into your app.</p>
<p>Question, I'm not going to do engineering, but definitely something related to chem. My question is: how do u study chem? any tips. Just wondering how i can become better at the subject.
thanks</p>
