<p>ED or RD?......</p>

3

<p>RD. I need too much fin. aid to be able to apply ED anywhere -_-</p>

4

<p>Hopkins is guaranteed to meet need - you'll get the same package ED as you would RD. You just don't get to compare packages.</p>

5

<p>Comparison is important when not much out there is cheaper than 40k :)</p>

6

<p>What do you wanna study?!</p>

7

<p>Major in biology, hopefully into med school.</p>

8

<p>Is JHU your top choice? If (and only if) yes, I'd encourage you to go ED.</p>
