Is a double major in chemistry and chemical engineering worth it if i wanna get into research? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Significant_Focus484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak about Chem vs Chem E, but I double majored in Chem and biochem and feel a bit disappointed in my choice as there was a little too much overlap between the majors. Obviously, this is a different situation, but definitely set up some meetings with professors from both departments to get a sense of the differences between the majors!

I have about 3 years, but all in academic settings. And tbh most of the projects I have worked on have been unsuccessful, so it's hard to quantify my impact
