<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was accepted to both these programs. I know Duke is ranked #2, JHU ranked #1 in terms of the biomedical engineering department.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any tips on how I should go about making my decision on this issue?</p>
<p>Both are great places..</p>
<p>i have the same problem my friend
it's a hard choice</p>
<p>visit both schools
you'll know which one you like more</p>
<p>Wow congratulations…thats quite an achievement. Honestly, id go check out each university, see Campus life and meet people and teachers. Im sure ull find the right university either way…#1 or #2, now thats not a position lots of kids find themselves in =D</p>
<p>At this point, it’s probably just down to which place you like the best. So visit both and go with your gut.</p>
<p>
Graduating from college, which the OP did last May? Yes, I agree.</p>
<p>My personal choice would be Duke, for the weather.</p>
<p>Way to bump a five year old thread. Anyway, for anyone in this position, I think since both programs are superb and close enough in quality, one should make his/her decision based on which school you like more; personally living in Baltimore sucks so I would pick Duke :)</p>
<p>I had this option and chose Duke. Ultimately, what appealed to me was the total package of the school. That being said, name recognition/ranking of Duke was also favorable.</p>
<p>Good choice. Not that I’m biased.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins. </p>
<p>Johns Hopkins has a reputation of a serious school for real academics. Something that is important to those who hire.</p>
<p>Duke still has that reputation of being the “Playboy” of the top Universities. Might be too much of a distraction with all of those greek parties, etc.</p>
<p>^lol…?</p>
<p>I wonder which university, the OP is graduating from.</p>
<p>I wonder if the OP still gets notifications and emails from CollegeConfidential…</p>
