I’m extremely interested in Columbia’s Environmental Engineering program, but I’m also passionate about the humanities, and want to use college as an avenue to explore subjects such as literature, music, and foreign language.

1. Would I be able to fit these things in if I was in the engineering program?

2. Also, am I hurting my chances of getting into Columbia by applying to the engineering school? I’m president of the math team and got 800s on Chem and Math 2 subject tests, but the 92 I got the AP Chem exam is really a blight on my transcript, and I don’t have any engineering experience.

3. So: pros/cons of applying to engineering school?
