I am a high school senior likely going into chemical engineering. I have:
34 ACT
5.06 GPA on a weighted 4.0
Class rank: 6/198 -at a private college prep high school if that means anything
Will have 6 APs by end of senior year (Bio, Chem, Calc BC, Stats, Spanish, and U.S. History)

As of now the colleges I am looking at are:
Illinois- in state
Purdue
Wisconsin
Texas
Clemson (would likely receive $15,000/yr based on ACT)
Texas A&M

Other schools I’m considering but not so heavily are:
Vanderbilt
UVA
Iowa State
Georgia Tech

Based on rankings and reputation I feel like U of I or Purdue is the no-brainer, any advice on these programs and which would be the best for landing a good job right out of college?
