<p>I need help deciding.
So: full tuition at Carnegie Mellon
BME at Johns Hopkins
Murphy Scholar at Northwestern (allows to you to pretty much freely select courses, take undergraduate courses, seminars, research opportunities, its new this year 4,000 research money.)</p>
<p>I want to study biomedical or biological engineering. I enjoy the biology side of things a bit more than the engineering, and medicine definitely interests me so I also want to do premed. My parents can pay for college, but if they do their money could be short for grad or med school. As a tiebreak I would consider which college has the best a capella group :p.</p>
<p>I feel like I don't know enough to make this decision so any help would be great. Thanks!</p>
<p>CMU engineering program is comparable to NU and only slightly less respected than JHU. Your career opportunities will not be limited in any way by going there (in comparison with other two).</p>
<p>In terms of quality of life CMU will beat JHU (better/safer area, etc.) and loose by small margin to NU.</p>
<p>You can not pass full tuition there, it just would not make any sense.</p>
<p>Nothing beats BME at Hopkins. That program is so incredibly tough to get into and Hopkins has lotsa spirit (Lacrosse) and strong students outside of Engineering which is a nice balance. </p>
<p>BME at Hopkins attracts the best students from across the world - you can't go wrong here.</p>
<p>JHU fosters a great community especially within the department. Charles Village and Roland Park area is great for students as well.</p>
