In september I will be applying to English universites to study Chemical Engineering or Physics. I will be applying to Cambridge, Imperial, Surrey and possibly King's college and Sussex if I study Physics.
Anyone studying these subjects? need some help here. Chemical Engineering requires A*A*A-ABB at A-level while Physics is A*AA-AAB
My personal statement will be much stronger for physics due to a shit load of pre-reading and visiting CERN.
Physicist master race.

Oh my god if you can go to Cambridge for physics I will be SO jealous.
Physics
I really can't make much of a comparison with chemical engineering since I don't know much about it even though my roommate is a chemical engineer, but I personally find physics absolutely fascinating and I wouldn't give up studying it for anything.
I would take the physics bro, after you finish all your classes talk to valve they could you someone like you.
Haha I made a pun
Yeah I love physics. Going to apply to do natural sciences at Cambridge anyway, Physics Material science and chemistry. Gives me more time to think about what I want to do.
Would like to do a master's in physics though. But I just think that chemical engineering has alot of demand and applications. Saying that though a physics degree can get you almost anywhere.
Basing your studies on what suits the job market is a great way to be a boring human being.
Yeah that's true. Going to CERN next week and that will look really good on my personal statement. Done alot of pre-reading on Quantum and particle physics which would help me aswell. And there is a lack of people applying to do physics anyway.
Can I come with you

You can be a quantum physicist and I'll do work with general relativity and we'll become a badass physics team and jointly develop a theory of quantum gravity with our massive brains.
Sounds like a plan. only going for a day. miss sonisphere and the main Cambridge open day because of it though. And It's a college trip. Never had a trip arranged? Some people end up studying there in a gap year. It would be amazing to work there.

Do what Johnny says, do physics, join the physicist master race, something I might do.
Probably will end up applying for physics. Where are you guys studying?

:stalker:
Wait, are you just going to CERN like that? What are you going to do there, how do you get there? I would love to visit sometime, I was chosen as physicist on my high school's European Science Olympiad team last year.
Just so you know - these degrees are totally different.
Physics is a complete pure science, theory and so on. Chem eng is just a subsection of engineering, learning how to design chemical reactors and that sort of stuff.
