<p>^ I was only looking for his opinion too, since he says that AP Physics is a good indicator. If MatSE and ChemE are based on both, and he says that even a high school physics course can be a good indicator, why can’t that be true for chemistry? In my experience, there was a good amount of creative problem solving in chem. But whatever, I’ll just see how I do next year in Physics.</p>
<p>Also, to what degree does nanotechnology have to do with MatSE? Rice University is said to be “well known for its applied science programs in nanotechnology” yet it’s not ranked in the top 20 according to USNWR for MatSE.</p>
