My career interest lies toward pharmacology and/or drug development, so I spent a lot of my summer looking at different Bio/Chemical Engineering programs and seeing which major would suit my interests better. At most schools, that turned out to be ChemE, but BioE at Berkeley looked promising after I compared course offerings with other schools’ BioE programs.
Harvard doesn’t have a Chemical Engineering major, so I went with the closest thing in Chemistry. Perhaps I’ll apply to Bioengineering instead, but that remains to be seen.
Of course my family cannot afford to pay 100% of the cost of college; I just meant that I am more interested to hear feedback about the admissions aspect of applications rather than financial aid.
I’ll leave my college list below here (still narrowing it down a bit). It’s fairly reach-heavy:
MIT
Caltech
Ohio State
UChicago
Michigan
Georgia Tech
UC Berkeley
UCLA
Harvard
Columbia
Princeton
Vanderbilt
Yale
Cornell
Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
WashU
Rice
Duke
Stanford
UPenn
This wasn’t in any particular order.
Thanks for your reply.
