<p>sell me texas over UIUC.
i'm an international, want to do chem eng.</p>
<p>got into UT as chem major
rejected-appealed-got in to UIUC as undeclared studies</p>
<p>ani one???</p>
<p>As someone posted in another thread, if you need to be “sold” on UT, maybe it’s not the school for you.</p>
<p>Austin is a city, although a smallish one. Champaign-Urbana is a glorified corn field. Where would you rather live?</p>
<p>You’re not even guaranteed to study your major or even any type of engineering at UIUC. Seems way too risky when UT is offering you what you want already.</p>
<p>bacdgk, CFO got into UT as a chem major, not chem eng.</p>
<p>I graduated from UT with ChemE and can tell you that the top energy companies (Exxon, Shell, BP) recruit out of both UT and UI so either is a good choice. Transferring into ChemE is not easy at UT, don’t know about UI but suspect it is the same. So you’re real decision is do you want a city school or a rural school.</p>
<p>Thanks alot guys
I was always leaning towards UT since my college apps, UIUC didn’t pop into my head till they accepted my appeal-- it was my second choice wen I did my apps anyways</p>
<p>So yea!</p>
<p>I guess it should be easier to transfer from chem to chem engineering rather than undeclared to chem eng…</p>
<p>Thanks
