Help with choosing college and major?
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Moosehead asked:
I’m in the process of choosing my colleges for the upcoming year, and I really want to attend Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. I really loved the campus visit and felt like all of the things the admissions officer was talking about connected with me. However, I wish to major in Chemical Engineering, or perhaps another Chemistry field. I know Johns Hopkins has a strong Biology/Biomedical Engineering field, but I don’t think they’re too strong in the Chemical Engineering field.

Someone once told me that the classes required for both were not too different, but I’m not too sure about this.
I really do love Chemistry, I can deal with Physics, although I prefer Chem, and Calculus I’m currently learning. Should I decide to apply to Johns Hopkins even though I don’t know if their Chem fields are strong? Or should I apply to somewhere like UC Berkeley, which is ranked top in the Chemical Engineering field? I’ve never been to Berkeley, and this is for Early Decision.
