<p>Hi, I’m interested in pursuing both ChemE and theatre and I’m looking for fairly small colleges (Under 10k, preferably under 5k) which give me the opportunity to do that. Oh, I’d also prefer the colleges to be nearish to a city or in a large town, but the other qualities I mentioned are more important. Thanks!</p>
<p>Quick Stats
3.5 UW/4.27 W</p>
<p>Testing:
SAT (attempt 1): M:750, CR: 580, W: 610 (MC: 58, E:9) 1940
Attempt 2: M: 720, CR: 620, W: 650 (MC: 69, E:7) 1990
Superscore: 2020
I will retook the SAT in October. I hopefully got a 2100. I am taking the ACT next weekend and am expecting a 32/33

U of Portland</p>
<p>Note that there is no Ch-E major at U of Portland, but there are specializations in both Materials and Biomed within the Mechanical Engineering Major at U of P. And you would still have the “Fluids” curriculum in ME, but not courses in Chemical processes.</p>
<p>You might add U of San Diego. No Ch-E major either, but perhaps a USD student could package her Mechanical Engineering major with advanced Chemistry or Biochemistry coursework, depending on her career interests.</p>
<p>If you’re thinking of grad school, then you may want to think about UMBC. It’s a bit bigger (10K undergrads, 13K total), but it has a Chem-E program and Theatre (and it’s close to Baltimore). </p>
<p>You’re stats are such you could qualify for one of the scholars programs (like “The Center for Women in Technology” or CWIT) and they have a great track record of preparing folks for grad school(thanks to it’s focus on research). If you are thinking about it, you’ll want to apply EA (by Nov 1’st) to have your best shot at one of the scholar programs.</p>
<p>I’m thinking about undergrad right now. UMBC is too close. My parents don’t want me that close and I don’t want to be that close. I’ll look at Lafayette and Villanova. I was debating U of Rochester but it doesn’t have a theatre major. I am applying to Case Western. Forgot to mention I’m Jewish so no Texas Christian University. I’ll check out U of Portland though.</p>
<p>University of Portland is a Catholic school with a limited Jewish population. Also the University of Tulsa has few if any Jewish students (I believe the only school in Oklahoma which has an acceptably large Jewish population is OU). How much can your family afford?</p>
<p>Northwestern is what comes to mind for me - I think there are about 6000 students, excellent programs in both chemical engineering and theatre, in a great suburb right near a great major city. </p>
<p>Maybe also Harvey Mudd as part of the Claremont Consortium. The president is a woman and always looking to advance women in the engineering field.</p>

I love Northwestern, but it’s so reachy for me. @whenhen
Yeah I just figured that out when I looked it up. My family is applying for Financial Aid, but they are willing to pay in full if we don’t get any.</p>
