It’s worth noting that a combined BS/MS in ChemE is one of the most difficult programs offered at NU. Probably ISP/ChemE > ISP/other engineering/math > ISP/pure science = MMSS/Math/Kellogg = ChemE/MSChemE in terms of difficulty.

It’s definitely doable, but the few guys I know who are attempting it are in work mode most of the time.

Start with a basic engineering track (EA1, DTC, Math 224 or 230 depending on your AP credit, and either Chem 171 or Orgo depending on AP credit and placement) and see how you do; don’t set your sight on the combined BS/MS right away.

This holds especially true if your main reason for pursuing the degree is better job placement/more money–the only kids consistently out earning ChemE BS grads are the Kellogg Cert kids who place into top corporate finance, and their work is a hell of a lot less rewarding.
