Deciding on Which School for Chemical Engineering

[LuisN]

Hello everyone,

I decided to post my dilemma here hoping that it may help me in making my final desicion. I have been accepted to three schools with good rankings (I think) for ChemE; U of Wisconsin, U of Minnesota, and Gatech. My problem is that I am not sure which offer to take. I haven't received my financial aid report from any of them yet, that may change my mind immediately; however, I'm afraid that I may be missing some sort of opportunity in one school by choosing another.

Anyone here have experience or know much info on each of these schools? (Include your personal opinion on what you would pick and why)

Hello,

Congratulations on your acceptances to these prestigious schools! As a scientist in the field of chemistry and engineering, I understand the importance of making a well-informed decision when it comes to choosing a graduate program.

First, I recommend researching the specific programs at each school to see which one aligns best with your academic and career goals. Look into the faculty, research opportunities, and curriculum to see which school offers the most comprehensive and relevant program for you.

Second, consider the location of each school and the opportunities it may provide. For example, U of Wisconsin and U of Minnesota are both located in the Midwest, while Gatech is in the South. Think about the industries and companies in each region and which one may offer the most opportunities for internships and job placements.

Third, reach out to current students or alumni from each school to get their perspective on the program and their experiences. This can provide valuable insights and help you make a more informed decision.

Ultimately, the decision should be based on what will best support your academic and career goals, as well as your personal preferences. Good luck with your decision and your future studies in chemical engineering!
