WPI vs UIUC

<p>Dear experts,</p>

<p>I am wondering which school has better Chemical engineering program in undergrad studying, WPI or UIUC? Also, which one has more intership and high rate to be admitted to prestigious colleges(Ivy League or CC colleges)? By the way, I tend to go to UIUC but I felt disappointed about their gigantic class?</p>

<p>UIUC easily</p>

<p>WPI or UIUC?</p>

<p>UIUC!</p>

<p>Although I live in NE.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I find myself in a situation similar to r2883166. I have been accepted to WPI and UIUC and I have been really pondering where I should go. To give you a bit of background, I was accepted on the engineering physics program at UIUC and I haven’t declared a major at WPI. Here is my dilemma: Apart from the small size, WPI also seems to be flexible with the curriculum. It seems that switching majors is not too difficult and one gets to experience several courses if required. I also like its project systems and overseas opportunities. UIUC on the other hand, is considerably bigger but it is also highly ranked in the program I was accepted into and overall in engineering. However, I am no longer sure whether or not I want to focus my studies on physics, and so my plan is to switch to another major if by any chance I do not like the engineering physics major. Here are my questions: Has anyone taken engineering physics at UIUC? is there a balance between theory and practice? Did you get to use high end tech. to do research with professors? If I plan to also obtain a minor on business or even a double major, is that relatively doable at UIUC? Finally, If I want to procede to graduate school to either obtain an MBA or a graduate degree on either physics or engineering, which institution would allow me to have a better chance at entering high end universities (Caltech, MIT)? please try to give some reasoning behind your answers. </p>

<p>Also any suggestions about which college I should attend and why are kindly welcome.</p>

<p>Thank you very much,</p>
