<p>Maybe high school chem, even at the AP level, isn’t a good indicator, but I remember MIT for example say that “we look for indicators of potential success in your application, and some things, for example USAMO qualifiers, indicate the applicant is more likely to succeed”. So, if anyone is familiar with the National Chemistry Olympiad, how would that be for an indicator of college success?</p>
<p>Does ChemE or MSE have more to do with engineering?</p>
<p>And what I’m really trying to say is, would a strong interest and ability in chemistry “match” my intended major well?</p>
