<p>I recently heard back from all my colleges and didn't get into my absolute TOP choices so I'm struggling with the decisions. I got into: University of Maryland (College Park), University of Minnesota (Twin Cities), Duke University, Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, and Northwestern University. I'm planning on going into chemical engineering and I would like to get some more of a scope of where I should go/consider more since they all seem to be really great schools in terms of chemE, except for Duke.</p>
<p>I know Duke doesn't have chemical engineering but I feel otherwise, it'd be the best fit for me. Would it be a complete waste to go anyway and attempt to do one of those "make your own major" deals? Of course, if they don't have all the typical classes for chemE, I won't go, and I know that resources/research is very important. What do you think?</p>
<p>Does it really matter which school I go to among the six (purely in terms of chemE, and not my personal opinion)? </p>
<p>I'll be visiting most of these colleges in the coming weeks to help make my decision, so of course I'll be waiting until after I complete all my visits to decide what I want to do. But I'd really like to hear your input!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
