Cornell or JHU

<p>Sorry I alrealy posted this in JHU but I want a more balanced reply. Mods can delete my thread in the college admission section</p>

<p>Please help me decide the pros and cons of each one. Right now I am leaning towards Cornell but then I got into the biomedical engineering major at jhu which is supposedly very competitive, so I don't know what to do. Please give me your honest opinion of what you would do in this situation. Ultimately it will come down to fin aid I guess, but I still want to hear your opinions. I got waitlisted at some schools but I'll ingore them for now</p>

<p>The area around JHU is pretty crummy.</p>

<p>thanks thats what Im worried about.</p>

<p>Definitely. I went to visit JHU, and the surrounding slums are pretty scary, especially with the recent murders at JHU. The campus is pretty, but it can't touch Ithaca.</p>
