If you don't mind me asking, what made you make the switch from Chemical Engineering to Chemistry? Were you dissatisfied with something, or did you just want to change direction?

Hello all, I'd like to thank you in advance for reading this and hopefully offering some words of advice. After the dust and gunsmoke of rejections cleared, I saw that I received two acceptances.*All rankings are listed according to most recent US News data.* - Chemistry PhD. at a very famous and prestigious tech university. Program rank: 24. - Chemical Engineering PhD. at an up-and-coming tech shool. Program rank: 71. Both are funded 24k/year. Geographically close to one another, so climate is a moot point. Strong research interests at both schools. Additional information: For all of those BS chemists afraid of the future, I want to reassure you that it is possible to move into chemical engineering, even as a PhD and not an MS. I will have to take some undergraduate courses during my first year (16k stipend, up to 24k after first year), but the track is the same after that. Okay fellow applicants, grads, professors spying on me, and curious students: What would you do? Applicant Credentials: 3.7/4.0 Chemistry BS (ACS-Certified), 2 REUs, several posters, 71% & 81% Quant and Verbal GRE respectively. Short German exchange, few conferences, strong LORs and a hobby reader/writer. American student.
