Nice work earning great choices.

I am a ChemE by degree and worked in the trade for 10 to 15 years. It’s been 10 years since I’ve done anything ChemE.

Both schools are very good. And you’ll likely do well at both. Likewise, both will offer plenty of choices post graduation. My opinion … It really doesn’t matter which school you go to.

Now I’ll contradict myself. I’ve seen very good (smart, hard working, well meaning) people fail at jobs they just weren’t right for. The mismatch (in my opinion) tended to be between the person an the ecosystem (boss, company culture,e etc.). Fit is important. I think college is like that. You should find the place that most fits you. And when the fit is right, you’ll do your very best. And you doing your very best will (probabilistically speaking) lead to your best future.

Good luck
