<p>Honestly, Duke has a good BME program and finance so sure that works (plus babes). Cornell is death, the school is in the middle of nowhere and is a LOT of work. Carnegie mellon is more of a research school than anything. NYU, just an overall odd school. Johns Hopkins isn’t the best school to apply to unless you’re 100% sure you’re going into BME. JHU’s BME program is a lot more competitive than you would imagine, and if you dont go BME then there really isn’t a point. their finance/accounting majors aren’t really that good. It’s a medicne school.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, do you think my college list is balanced with reach and match schools? </p>

<p>Do you have any safeties?</p>

<p>i don’t plan on applying for any safeties because if worse comes to worse i can always attend school in my homecountry. But then again, i don’t want to be applying to school where i will have near 0 chance of getting in. </p>
