<p>A ridiculously smart person that I met at Model UN and on a tour of Hopkins turned Hopkins down for Tufts. His reasoning was that he didn’t want to go through hell again in college like he did in high school. </p>
<p>He preferred Tufts because it was the environment that he was most happy in because he could work and chill out and not worry about intense competition. It is perfectly understandable considering he went to UChicago Lab School and he didn’t want to work as hard as he did in high school and burn out after he graduated from college.</p>
<p>I turned Tufts down for Hopkins because I liked competition and I knew of the premed program. Ppl have different reasons for going where they are going in life. Just gotta learn to accept it of course. :)</p>
