[cornell, duke, jhu, and cmu are all on the common app so it'll be easier]

Just a head's up, just because those 4 schools you listed are on the Common App doesnt mean they won't each hit you with a bunch of extra essays. I thought the Cornell app was too long and since I was on the fence about applying there in the first place, I decided to bag it just 'cause it was too many essays and I had bigger fish to fry. Since you are applying to alot of schools, make sure you figure out ALL of the essays you will need to write and start them early!! I thought I was off the hook when alot of my schools used the Common App, but most of my schools asked for an additional essay.

FYI, I go to the University of Delaware for ChemEng. I chose UD over Carnegie Mellon (which was, ultimately, my second choice school). It was a great decision, so if you are thinking of ChemEng or those two schools in particular, feel free to hit me up!
