<p>ooo...definitely Cornell then</p>
<p>"There are hotter girls at Cornell."</p>
<p>... NO...</p>
<p>Oh come on. Everybody knows those JHU girls are beasts.</p>
<p>Do we have any tangible proof that the girls at either schools are better than the stock from the other? Until we do, let's leave that out of the equation.</p>
<p>Cornell definitely has better environment, hands down. Who wants to live in a run-down city? Having lived in pristine countryside for the past several years, I feel that my lungs would rot if ever I was to spend more than 5 days in a city like that.</p>
<p>Damn i just found out this morning i forgot to withdraw from JHU. as a result i got my first rejection email!! oh yeah! i'm so glad they rejected me :D</p>
<p>tough pick..that's all i can say :)</p>
<p>im going to hopkins, but only bc i got waitlisted at cornell; if i get in to cornell, goin ther</p>
<p>what if we're not doing medicine but just biology in general(undecided)</p>
<p>Cornell or JHU biomedical engineering?</p>
<p>All these posts are helpful for someone who wants to do science/engineering, but which school should I go to if I have no idea what I want to do?</p>
<p>the curriculum for pre-med is probably of equal difficulty at both Cornell and Johns Hopkins (incidentally they are probably the two most difficult universities to succeed at in pre-med). I guess chose on other factors.</p>
<p>"JHU's campus is amazing. very pretty." ...I'm sorry. WHAT!? There is no way you are comparing a busted ghetto setting to a perfect college town of Ithaca. </p>
<p>Also, "There are hotter girls at Cornell. " + " Johns Hopkins has more cut-throat competition." ... Both are not true. I dont know about chicas going to JHU, but i know that Big Red girls are pretty fugly. " Bears eat bluejays." ... i swear i saw a bear being chased by a jay. the thing ran it down and beat it's head into the ground. it was horrible</p>
<p>The Madden Bus (or anyone else), why is Cornell one of the most difficult places to succeed at for pre-med?</p>
<p>Also, sorry for being a complete loser, but can someone explain to me what grade inflation/deflation means? thanks...</p>
<p>wow, 1337hax0r - i'm in the same predicament you are (cmu/jhu/cornell for engineering) and i have no idea which i'm going to choose ><</p>
<p>haha yeah, this is a really tough choice ot make! also, how are the pre-med programs at both schools harder than other schools' to succeed in? </p>
<p>thanks for all your comments guys, they are helping out a lot</p>
<p>Asking again since everyone is still talking about engineering and pre-med... Where should I go if I don't know what I want to do yet?</p>
<p>melodie - probably Cornell. JHU has a fantastic pre-med program that is equal to or better than Cornell's, but for everything else Cornell is hard to beat (especially by a school like JHU). Cornell has more courses, more majors, more programs, etc.</p>
<p>all i know is that when Cornell and JHU go head to head, Cornell usually wins, there was even a study, said that Cornell usually loses to Duke, Columbia, Penn, Brown, the rest of the ivies</p>
<p>equal with NU, Gtown, and a few others</p>
<p>wins over JHU and Wash U</p>
<p>BUMP...</p>
<p>I got a 100k scholarship to JHU.. this puts me in an even tighter bind! Cornell only gives need-based assistance so I doubt I will get any since my parents can afford it... what should I do?? Or rather, what would you do??? (You know you don't know what to do when you ask people online to help you decide, haha)</p>
<p>This may be a little biased coming from a Baltimorian that's tryna get out of MD, but they may be the same on The List (u kno which one i'm talking about) but Cornell is an Ivy, it gives a lot of finaid, it's in a beautiful environment, and of coures has great food (that's all i need). Plus I've lived near the JHU campus my whole life and it cool but real small, it takes like 30 minutes to walk through the whole thing. The city of Baltimore is lively, but you have to be a Baltimorian to kno the ins and outs (like not interacting with the homeless b/c they could be a crackhead). If you like city life and cafeteria food go to JHU but if you like the great outdoors and gourmet food go to Cornell. Visit both to get a first impression.</p>
<p>for the reason that matters most, which is academics, JHU is DEFINITELY better than cornell for premed. there are other less important things (such as the campus and food) that would make cornell seem more desirable, but what does it really matter? as long as you get fed and have a place to live, the extent of the superiority of said food and place is really insignificant. plus, the very prestigious JHU graduate medical school is next to impossible to get into, but attending JHU for undergrad would undoubtedly help.</p>
