<p>I definitely want to at least minor in something else to gain an edge, but not set on anything yet. Suggestions?</p>
<p>The Chemical Engineering curriculum, like any other Engineering, is packed. Don’t worry about a minor yet, see how things go in your first two years and then see if you have extra time available or if you prefer to get involved in research or something else.</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks!</p>
<p>Adding to the previous post, most of the time minors and double majors don’t really give you an edge anyway. You are usually better off just making sure you take classes that give you the extra skills necessary to succeed in the type of position you hope to obtain later on.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks for the advice! Although I must say that if I go to a place like UMBC, I may minor in biology simply because it will only require four extra classes, and I plan on getting a 4/5 on the AP Biology exam this year anyways…</p>
<p>You may not be able to fit in a minor, but I recommend you take courses involving critical analysis and writing. These are skills employers value and will set you apart more than taking additional science courses will.</p>
<p>Sure it will only require 4 extra classes, but in terms of jobs, you are better off spending that time on classes that will help you be a better engineer, not doing something random like biology. Use the AP credits to help take care of some of your electives and then use the freedom to choose courses you really want to take rather than courses that could semi-conveniently get you a minor.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks so much! :)</p>
