<p>Got into both, now need to make a critical decision.. College of Arts and Sciences at Hopkins or College of Human Ecology at Cornell? I want to be a doctor but want to study the history of medicine/science/technology as a major. Any thoughts? How do both treat pre-meds? Which one has higher/lower grade inflation/deflation? Which one has an overall better quality of student life? Better food?</p>
<p>This will be a tough, tough decision to make.. both are my top choices! Any help is definitely appreciated. I visited both campuses and fell in love with them.. the only one thing that stands out to me right now is that Hopkins is closer to home, but that's just a small factor.</p>
<p>I'd say it just comes down to which school you like more. Both schools are equal in terms of quality of education and oppurtunities. Do you like the idea of living in Baltimore, or in Ithaca?</p>
<p>Do both schools really have grade deflation? Blah, crap. I went to Cornell for three weeks to study (summer program), and I absolutely loved Ithaca. Not sure about the winters though... and I would really like to be close to home. But I LOVED Cornell and Ithaca especially!</p>
<p>How would you compare Cornell's College of Human Ecology with Johns Hopkins College of Arts and Sciences though?? Is Human Ecology "less prestigious" than the other? Is it looked down upon by the rest of the school? Just wondering...</p>
<p>I say go Johns Hopkins - it is THE place for medicine. Cornell is ivy, but human ecology doesn't seem as fitting as JHU.
On the other hand, I have heard that JHU's campus is rather ugly, especially in comparison to cornell's...but that is just what I have heard.
Do you care more about prestige and productivity or about how nice things will look/taste?</p>
<p>I would say that Cornell will probably give you more of a full college experience while JHU is more "sciency." JHU does have a slightly higher placement rate in med school school (the actual rank of JHU and Cornell's med schools are irrelevant in this case) but keep in mind that JHU does pre-screen their applicants. If you apply to med school w/ what they feel to be low stats, they will write you a bad committee letter.</p>
<p>I got outright rejected from Johns Hopkins today, so I thought I was gone for Cornell, but I actually got accepted at Cornell. What is the admission rate at JHU?</p>
<p>If you want to become a doctor, go to the school where you will succeed. Med schools won't care that you went to JHU as opposed to Cornell. The ranking of the medical school has no bearing whatsoever on the quality of the pre-med program. I don't know why anyone thinks it does. I've heard horror stories about the pre-med program at Hopkins from friends that went there. If you strive in a super cutthroat environment, then knock yourself out and have fun at Hopkins. That's not to say it's not stressful at Cornell, but it doesn't attract the crazies at quite the same rate.</p>
<p>Visit both schools and see which one you like better. I visited Hopkins back in the day and I didn't like it at all, but I did fall in love with Cornell.</p>
<p>JHU's campus is amazing. very pretty. plus you're in the CITY. who wants to look at pretty landscape??? there is a TON of stuff to do in baltimore. </p>
<p>When people ask you where you're going, and you say JHU, they usually ask, "O you wanna do medicine?" First impression that I get for Cornell is engineering. </p>
<p>JHU's acceptance rate dropped cause so many more people applied this year and apparently the E.D. group was very strong (according to the admissions guy on CC). </p>
<p>Pick Cornell. Cornell has better food. Cornell is more beautiful. Cornell is more prestigious. It snows at Cornell. There are hotter girls at Cornell. Cornell doesn't screen its medical school applicants. Johns Hopkins has more cut-throat competition. Bears eat bluejays.</p>
<p>And it doesn't matter how high the medical school is ranked. We are talking about undergraduate here. Pre-med and medical school are completely different things.</p>
<p>i also got into JHU and cr0n3ll. However, I'm going for engineering. Cornell would be the obvious choice right? I'm in a deadlock between JHU, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, and Umich...all great for engineering. I'm still not sure if that's what I want to do though...I like philosophy, psychology, and neuro/cog sciences. I don't like remote places, but then again cornell's campus is so big that it's like a city on its own. Hmm...help me decide.</p>
