<p>Which college is better? Where you guys prefer to attend? JHU has nothing. Okay, maybe crime, but other than that they have nothing. </p>
<p>Georgetown has the location, the sports and the people. </p>
<p>Give me your decision.</p>
<p>Goergetown for me. Class of 2001!!!!</p>
<p>Obviously JHU. Much much better science program. Rustic applied to GU as a premed, so its clear he picked a lesser school than JHU.</p>
<p>Oh and what an unbias post. Lets ask ppl if they like JHU or GU in the Georgetown forum.</p>
<p>I also hear alot about the unhappiness of students at JHU. It was in their school paper awhile back.</p>
<p>I too would choose G-Town, but I'm not even applying to JHU, which is enough to get my point across.</p>
<p>For premed, JHU is the clear choice, as long as you're willing to be unhappy. Who knows, maybe you'll be part of the Hopkins 500. :D</p>
<p>Fastfingers is going to JHU. And if he believes that JHU is better, why is he on the Georgetown forum? Where is his loyalty?</p>
<p>rustic...according to us news...georgetown ftw in history
16% international relations and affairs, 10% political science and government, 9% English language and literature, 8% finance
5% graduates of who choose to continue further education going into med school
since your interest lies in history...georgetown is definetly for you gl!</p>
<p>Fastfingers Baltimore BLOWS. Have fun lying on the "beach" at JHU. You want a beach? Come to California.</p>
<p>heck yeah. you hold down that socal fort there akajjred haha :)</p>
<p>haha, ***** yea. California Republic for life.</p>
<p>lol i just noticed something. Rustic spelled Georgetown , Goergetown. I guess he doesn't pay enough attention to his own school.</p>
<p>And this topic isn't even debatable. I'm sure 99% of people would agree that JHU is for science students and GU is for students going into law.</p>

<p>It is, but unfortunately the biases in this thread are preventing a reasonable point from being made.</p>
<p>Both are good schools, with strengths in their own areas. Georgetown is better than JHU for some people, and vice versa. </p>
<p>From my experience on campus, I don't think any Hoya cares about JHU (I don't know if it's the same at JHU with respect to Georgetown). It's nothing like the bitterness that prevails among GWU students when they hear Georgetown uttered in conversation – you should see how defensive they get: a couple students went out of their way to inform me of their acceptance at Georgetown and their desire to attend GWU instead.</p>
<p>The bull$hit-monitor was abuzzing.</p>
<p>GWU gives merit scholarships so it is possible that someone could get accepted to Gtown and go to GWU instead.</p>
<p>I was accepted to both last year and was having a hard time deciding between the two, and i'm pre-med. but of course in the end, i chose georgetown. georgetown has an early assurance program to med school, jhu does not. students seemed happier here and the location is much better. also i get to meet people from a variety of majors wheras at jhu almost most people are science so its more interesting here.</p>
<p>for premed, people usualyl choose jhu but as you said some people will instead choose georgetown due to the environment which is completely justified =D georgetown ftw in environmental quality =D</p>
<p>JHU is stronger academically by and large. Washington is more pleasant than Baltimore, by and large. Neither has much surfing. HTH :)</p>

<p>I don't think it's that cut and dry. The schools are very comparable overall and each excels in certain fields.</p>
<p>Always true. Which is why I said "by and large"... you'll find that JHU's students score higher.</p>

<p>On the SAT?</p>
<p>JHU's midrange according to College Board is:
Verbal 630-740
Math 660-760</p>
<p>Georgetown's midrange is:
Verbal 640-750
Math 650-740</p>
<p>Hardly a big enough difference to say one student body is more intelligent than the other or that one school is stronger academically than the other.</p>
<p>If that is accurate info then you're right, the SAT would not be a sufficient basis. </p>
<p>But why is JHU ranked more highly than Georgetown on every ranking I can find?</p>
<p>I believe Georgetown is ranked lower than it should be because of its low endowment compared to peer schools. Either way, I do not consider a school ranked #16 by USNews to be better than a school ranked #23. By that method, Duke is a better school than Brown as well since Duke is ranked 7 spots above Brown. I disagree and consider them both great schools with their own strengths.</p>
<p>Incidentally, until now I did not realize that I was posting in a Georgetown forum, so if I've irritated any partisans, my apologies.</p>
