<p>Okay final post about this. Please let me know what you would do in my situation. Ive thought about this a long time and have done a lot of research but still can't decide. I am going to visit both schools very very soon, but a visit can only do so much. Please give me your honest opinion. BTW, I will be majoring in biology and possibly bio-engineering. For Hopkins I did get into the BME major. It seems to be that both schools are pretty competitive in terms of work and the grading system, so I guess I will have to focus on other factors. I did find Cornell more appealing in terms of surrounding, but then JHU has given me slightly better aid and I didn't want to pass up the bme program. What to do</p>
<p>I think you should do BME at JHU. It was extremely competitive to get into, and you shouldn't give your spot up to someone else. Cornell is also a great school, but is nowhere near as strong at BME as JHU.</p>
