Where should I attend?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am a chemical engineering major accepted to the following:</p>

<p>University of Michigan
University of Wisconsin-Madison
The Ohio State University</p>

<p>and still waiting to hear from:</p>

<p>University of Connecticut
Virginia Tech</p>

<p>I believe I will be accepted to Uconn and Va Tech based on my previous acceptances.</p>

<p>I am OOS for each school with the exception of Connecticut. I feel that Michigan is my best choice academically, but my be too expensive. </p>

<p>What are your thoughts and feelings?</p>

<p>Gratz! My top two would be 1. Michigan 2. Wisconsin</p>

<p>[FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid) might help you resolve the “too expensive” issue.</p>

<p>Engineers don’t get paid more based on where they went to school. Provided your program is accredited by ABET, you can choose the cheapest place and still be fine.</p>

<p>If you can afford it, I would go with Michigan</p>

5

<p>As others said, U of M is certainly more prestigious, but choose based on your best fit.</p>

6

<p>I largely agree that engineers do not get paid more based on where they went to school. However, the interviews and corresponding job offers that they receive will definitely increase based on which sheepskin you earn.</p>

<p>My impression is that Michigan will have twice as many coporate recruiters compared to Ohio State even though tOSU has significantly more engineering graduates.</p>

<p>all great basketball programs.</p>

<p>but you should be a wolverine!</p>

<p>Ohio State is in the process of constructing the best Chemical Engineering facility in the nation complemented with expanding new faculties hire as planned. Brand spanking new ready for you in Sophomore year once you’ve completed some GEC required courses. In terms of post-graduation placement, locally, both Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) and Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) are located adjacent to the campus.</p>

<p>Best of Luck & Go Bucks!! :)</p>

<p>Actually, it’s Wisconsin that’s rated the highest of this group in Chemical Engineering, certainly higher than Michigan. Wisconsin also has a nicer campus and is a lot cheaper too. </p>

<p>Isn’t it nice when that happens?</p>

<p>I’d worry how many years it’s going to take Ohio State professors and departments to modify ALL of their courses and programs to move from quarters and semesters and get it right. I’d hate to be the guinea pig for that.</p>

<p>It was initiated last summer and most everything had gone smoothly so I read. Thanks for the attention! :)</p>

<p>For Chemical engineering Wisky is best. For overall engineering and overall prestige, Michigan is best. For football tOSU is best. Decide which one is most important to you.</p>

13

<p>Virginia Tech is ranked quite high in engineering. If it’s cheaper and/or you’d prefer a bit more mild temperature, it would be a good option.</p>

14

<p>Michigan>>>>Wisconsin>>>>>>>>>>>>>>OSU</p>

15

<p>Thanks for the advice …its going to be a tough decision … I dont think I can discount Uconn either though because it is the cheapest option for me</p>

16

<p>UConn is fine!!! It is not worth going into debt to go to some other state school, unless perhaps you wanted to relocate to that part of the country for work after college. Even then, I would think long and hard about it.</p>

17

<p>Wisconsin or Michigan. I know Madison is an amazing college town if that is a factor for you.</p>
