I studied classical languages and literature in undergrad. It was extremely enjoyable, and has always impressed people or whatever when I tell them.

In general, chemists are the people who discover how to create a new chemical product and chemical engineers are the ones who figure out how to mass produce those products. Chemical engineering involves more math than just chemistry, and in general chemical engineers get paid more than chemists.

U of Michigan is decently difficult to get into, especially the engineering program. The average ACT is a 30 or so (32 for engineering) and I think the average GPA is like a 3.8 unweighted. Also U of M has holistic admissions so they take all of your extra curricular activities into account.

Mechanical engineering, with a minor in nuclear. I intend to come back and get a major in nuclear as well, if life allows.

We can do so much better with nuclear power it just is not funny. The nuke plants we built in the 60s and 70s were outdated before they even broke ground, and their design was just as much to produce enriched uranium for use in bombs as it was to produce power. If we were to use modern technology to design a nuclear power plant whose sole purpose was energy production then nothing else, not even dirty ass coal, could compete, dollar per dollar. All with no pollution and, possibly, depending on the method used, maybe not even any waste products at all.

I know. It really sucks. People seem to think having a nuke plant in their backyard means they're going to have misshapen, mutated beasts wandering around and kids getting cancer left in right when, in fact, the additional radiation received for living within ~50 miles of a nuke plant for an entire year is approximately equal to the radiation received for eating a single banana. So eat one fewer banana a year, and you'll be the same as everyone else. Or don't, because banana's are incredibly unreactive and hardly have any measurable radiation at all.

And then the backward ass Japs had to fuck things up with Fukushima. I swear to god that place is basically a third world country. You wouldn't think it, but any Japanese industry that doesn't have to compete on a global scale (e.g. their power industry) is so fucking backwards that places like Thailand and certain countries in Africa put them to shame. Infested with nepotism, corruption, and incompetence, it's no surprise that they couldn't handle a nuke plant. The company running it had been caught in the 90's and publicly admitted to falsifying repair and maintenance reports on their nuke plants and guess how many people go fired? None. No names were even named. Because, you see, personal responsibility isn't a Japanese ethic. It's all about aversion of shame and dishonor over there.

yeah I know but sometimes I study and sometimes I don't so that means I can get a B in calculus and then drop to a C on something seemingly irrelevant like stats (high school level stats)
I'd say the subjects in which I suck for real are math and history (got a D in history at one point in 11th grade I think) but the rest is either medium or pretty good so there's that

does applying early decision change something to my chances of getting accepted?

College was originally for the leftover children. The firstborn would take over the business, the others would go into religious training. This new college-centric way of developing into adulthood is an almost entirely 19th century phenomenon

sorry for the late reply,

From uni of auckland, nz.

I'm finding it easier than I thought it would be since there are less papers to do. Its a lot more focused on the profession seeing more realistic projects, rather than conceptual ideas, though i'm pretty sure in your last year of bachelors is getting pretty serious already.

My thesis will start next year, so I don't really know too much about what thats gonna be like.

It's quite common. Just get in the right circles and ok promise you you'll meet some people who went that route.
Chemical Engineering is impressive to many med schools; sure it's non-traditional but it's a difficult degree nonetheless. Think about it, if you're recruiting for your med program you're going to see endless stacks of pre-med majors yet a ChemE degree will catch your eye.

It's not that I despise industrial engineering, but we engineers take pride in our major and see industrial as just another business major.

This is my personal experience though.

Oh and as for what I do: all chemical plants today are based on designs from the 60's, most of what I do is look at how they're designed, point out where they are over designed and inefficient (basically fucking everywhere) , and come up with new concepts and techniques to achieve better stream composition, product quality, convenient valve locations etc etc. I also act as a middle man to explain to corporate why we can't do the ridiculous new standards they propose because science bitch!

I really don't know what you mean by nice

It has a lot of attractive people and buildings if that's what you're asking, but I go to school to learn. I honestly felt like the education I got at the community college I went to (PCC) was better.

Anyways, I am pretty bitter for being a poorfag in a school for spoiled rich kids. I listen to kids complain about stuff like "daddy only bought me a BMW M3 when I specifically asked for an M5... I hate my daddy, he is the worst daddy ever." I go there because of the weight the diploma will hold and the fact that I have no car so it is pretty easy for me to get there by public transportation (about 3 hour commute per day though)
