<p>How hard is it to get into Berkeley for a chemical engineering major?</p>
<p>relatively speaking, getting accepted to the ChemE program is NOTHING compared to surviving your 4 years as a ChemE major.</p>
<p>^That. Engineering in general is regarded as a “hard” field to study (workload, the breadth of things you need to study and consequently be fairly good at, etc.), but only Chem. E.s have to take 2 weeder classes in their first 3 semesters. If you’re in CoC, you have to start going pretty hardcore immediately upon entering Cal.</p>
<p>That said, great professors, great people, etc… Their method for handling advisor codes is stupid, but other than that…I mean, if you can handle the work, go for it.</p>
