<p>I'm having a hard time deciding. Location is not a factor. I'm thinking of maybe going into Pre-Med, but not 100% sure (I also have interests in liberal arts). Thinking of also possibly going to ivy league later for (HYP ) a graduate experience. Which one has the best academics/sets me up best?</p>
<p>Hands down John Hopkins has the best Biomed program out of all of them</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins = best pre med</p>
<p>I would eliminate Berkeley from your list. </p>
<p>What liberal arts are you interested in?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Perhaps. But everyone knows it with certainty; thus, it is the most competitive.</p>
<p>Definitely Hopkins for BME, but any “E” pretty much eliminates the opportunity to dabble in the liberal arts. “E” just doesn’t allow much time for electives in any college.</p>
<p>Personally, I’d go with Dartmouth for someone also interested in liberal arts. Sure Hopkins and Cornell have outstanding liberal arts too, but with the absence of a lot of grad programs Dartmouth is undergrad-focused.</p>
<p>But any of the privates will prepare you well for med apps. Choose the environment where you’d rather live for four years instead.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your help! I appreciate your thoughtful responses. I am reluctant is because I think I may lean more towards pre-med than engineering and I see that the core requirements of that program require around 29 engineering credits. Plus, not all students are allowed to apply to medical school!. In terms of liberal arts, I suppose creative writing is an interest (actually, I may decide to just shelve that as a hobby…)</p>
