be aware that chemE is not just chemistry. Being good at chemistry will only take you about 5% through.

Deep math and physics in addition to strong analytical skills and some programming will be useful. One thing I notice about EEs is that they have no sense of the real physical world. EEs usually turn to materials science engineers to actually do their physical design (e.g. fabrication). and materials science engineering is technically a subdiscipline of chemE.
