<p>This is actually super late considering I already sir'ed, but I had to choose between Berkeley Materials science and engineering and Hopkins BME. I really want to go into the BME field, but I also really really wanted to go to cal, so i didn't wanna risk my chances by applying to BioE. Plus there is a bioe/mse joint program that I can apply for later on as well. Hopkins was a TOTAL reach for me, idk how i got in but trully grateful...... so was giving up Hopkins's ranking/prestige worth it, considering i'm still attending my dream school?) )</p>
<p>Go where you are happy. You may have to work harder at Cal for the same opportunities, but if you’re happier- this might be easier.</p>
