<p>I am trying to decide between JHU, Penn, and Chicago. help!! I want to study IR.... is anyone else making a tough decision like this??</p>
<p>Somehow I didn't get any E-mail from JHU. So I don't know if I'm admitted. But if I were you, I'd definately choose JHU if you intend to go into IR (because I am). JHU has one of the finest IR program (I belive it's second nationwide) and, correct me if I'm wrong, but it has its independent building dedicated to IR.</p>
<p>Now that I'm getting series of rejection letters, I keep my fingers crossed for getting into JHU.</p>
<p>I am choosing between JHU, Chicago, and W&M. I plan to study Econ and IR. I was going to go to USMA before I got into all of these awesome schools. As a side note, I got waitlisted at UVa and I'm in state, go figure?</p>
<p>weird. yeah that is a tough choice for you, too. i've heard that chicago's econ program is amazing.</p>
<p>I think I'm going to turn down JHU. They have an excellent IR program but mainly for Graduates in DC where the IR school is. I don't think the undergrad IR program at JHU is as good aas the undergrad Econ program at Chicago. I'm sure someone will try and tear me to pieces on this.</p>
<p>IR = International Relations?</p>
<p>Not to hijack this thread or anything, but I also go into Penn and Hopkins... how are the PoliSci at both?</p>
<p>interesting, i also got into Penn,Vanderbilt and JHU for BME. And it seems so hard to make a decision. JHU didn't give me any financial aid whereas Penn is need blind...</p>
<p>VISIT, VISIT, VISIT. This is the best way to find out which school will be right for you. </p>
<p>And if you can't visit -- then virtually visit. I know at JHU we provide you with chats, blogs, message boards, webcams, a full admitted student site -- you can really learn a lot about our school and see if we are right for you.</p>
