This is definately too late... Help me decide!

Colleges & Universities Northwestern University

<p>My three choices are JHU, Northwestern, and Penn. I applied for engineering at all three schools. I was also accepted at the Integrated Science Program at NU. However, I am definately not sure if I will want to stick with engineering, and if I do, if I will want to be a pure engineer. I really doubt that I will do pre-med, so that is not a consideration. What should I do?</p>

<p>NU’s unique curriculum, Engineering First, allows you to experience real engineering early. So that would help you decide earlier. In other schools you won’t see much engineering until at least the second semester of the 2nd year, if not later.

<p>How about a hybrid of engineering and management? :smiley:
[Northwestern</a> University - Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences](<a href=“http://iems.northwestern.edu/]Northwestern”>http://iems.northwestern.edu/)
It is the most popular engineering major.</p>

<p>The quarter system allows you to sample more courses. So that’s a plus if you are very unsure about what you want to major in.</p>

<p>Personally, given your interests I would probably pick NU. Penn and JHU would be second and third, in that order.
They are all superb schools, so you can’t go wrong, but NU and JHU are a little better than Penn for engineering, and NU is a more enjoyable place to go to school than JHU.
If engineering is really not important to you, then it’s a toss-up between NU and Penn.</p>
