<p>So, with the results out, here are my choices:</p>

<p>UPenn
Cornell
CMU - CIT
UVA - Rodmand Scholars Honors program in Engineering</p>

<p>I plan on majoring in chemical engineering and possibly minor in business, but I know that I may end up changing major depending on what I actually like after exploring the CORE and the intro classes during my freshmen year. However, I do know that Cornell and CMU are rather strong when it comes to engineering, and their business programs are top 20 as well. UVA isn't that great when it comes to engineering, but it's honors program is rather appealing and incase I change my major to business, UVA seems like a good option. However, in terms of prestige, academic environment, and student satisfaction rate, I think UPenn seems like the best option. In addition, I've also heard that UPenn's core provides good opportunities for the freshmen students to explore various studies, not to mention that it does have one of the top business programs in the nation.</p>

<p>er.. so I'm kinda lost. any suggestions? opinions?</p>

<p>In terms of chemical engineering program quality, I would place Cornell first and Carnegie Mellon second. After them, U Penn and UVA but they are not as well regarded in ChemE. You should also consider differences among environments.</p>
