<p>You’ve made this thread in both the Chances section and the Admission section. Bump old threads not make new ones</p>

<p>I did not make this thread in both the Chances and Admission section - this topic of searching for colleges would be irrelevant in these sections.</p>

<p>Your post is so imprecise that there’s not much advice here on CC to offer you. You might as well head to your high school counseling center or bookstore and browse a copy of one of the numerous college guidebooks. And besides that, you said you already have your list of target schools, so I have no idea what you’re looking for in this forum.</p>

<p>I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have! My counselor hasn’t shown to be very helpful thus far, I am just looking for universities with highly ranked chemical engineering programs that would be a good match based on my credentials. I didn’t want to offer my list of “target” schools, even though I am new in the process I definitely have been recommended a few schools quite frequently that I cannot believe I have overlooked (that is what I am truly looking for). Sorry I am so new to this, I was really hoping for some advice; I definitely will consider looking through a college guidebook if I can get my hands on one!</p>
