You go to a very good school. You'll land on your feet in SF afterwards. Michigan + self-directed learning >>> App Academy.

It's a very difficult lifestyle adjustment to go back to school after you leave. You're almost done.

With the rest of summer and winter/spring breaks, you have maybe 8 more months of school. Just finish! You can spend 20 hours/week on ChemE classes and spend the rest of your time freelancing or studying CS. Take advantage of your school's resources and take some CS classes to round out your SW engineering knowledge (algorithms, data structures, theory, software engineering, etc).
