<p>my goal is to attend a medical school and become a doctor
and i jss got into these two schools but with different majors</p>
<p>which would you recommend between these two:</p>
<p>-Cornell as biochem major
-JHU as biomolecular engineering major (not BME)</p>
<p>and could you give pro's and con's for each school, if you could?</p>
<p>and is biomolecular engineering strong in JHU? i know their biomedical engineering is very strong but unfortunately i didn't get in for that..</p>
<p>you can switch majors once you're at JHU... which would be amazing... </p>
<p>I don't really know that much about either school--although I applied/was accepted to cornell--but I think JHU is way better for pre-med. Plus with the hospital nearby, there will be a lot of opportunities for research that you wouldn't get at Cornell. Ummm.... I don't know what JHU's campus is like, but I didn't like Cornell's. It was too spread out, and it didn't look like there was much to do on campus or off campus...</p>
<p>Seems like a no-brainer to me. If you are going to do pre-med and your goal is to be a doctor, Johns Hopkins is the place to be.</p>
<p>even if my major is biomolecular engineering?</p>
<p>Cornell. Getting into med school has very little to do with the reputation of your college's med school and more to do with your overall GPA. Students at JHU tend to have low GPAs. Personally, I think Cornell's campus is much more appealing than JHU's. You will probably learn more at JHU and it will most likely be more challenging, but those unfortunately don't really factor into getting into a good med school (which I am assuming is your intended aim). An added benefit is that if you decide that you no longer wish to be premed (I for one am guilty), Cornell offers many other respectable disciplines, whereas, JHU does not.</p>

<p>Cornell also has very hard grading. Hopkins IS good in fields outside of premed. The atmospheres are very different. I would choose based on that. They are both great schools. Hopkins is easy to reach by air, train, car. Cornell isn't. Hopkins is very urban. Cornell is rural. Cornell probably has far more campus life than Hopkins. As far as academic quality and grading policy, I consider them equal.</p>
<p>Hopkins has the highest acceptance rate to both med and law school</p>
<p>People at JHU have low GPAs? News to me--I'm at JHU and don't have a low GPA and many people I know don't have low GPAs. No more so than the people I know at Cornell, at least.</p>
<p>Cornell recently received a large influx of money to build a new biology building on campus and to invest in their biological sciences programs. Something to consider.</p>
<p>I would choose based on location, campus culture, and "feel". They are both great schools for the fields you named.</p>
