OP, both schools not only have great ChemE program, they are among the best! If people (from other schools) are applying for PhD programs in ChemE, guess what are their top choices?? Same goes for employers.

Given the ChemE programs are a draw, I think you should consider the X factors …

The consensus is Wisconsin does have a better overall reputation. Prestige/connection is usually only useful for getting you that first job or into a door, but it could very well be all the edge you need.

If you intend to minor in a humanities area, then UW clearly offers better programs in most areas. And the same goes to undergrad business programs.
