<p>Which one should i choose?
Where does each one stand in relation to the others?
What are their reputations?
Where do they stand in terms of the top schools (and not just based on US News and World Report)?</p>
<p>bummp.....</p>
<p>can i get a bummpp...</p>
<p>u havent given us any hints as to what u wanna do with ur life... nor what major</p>
<p>i know - i kind of just wanted to see what the general consensus(??) was on the schools
i want to do international relations/political science or else pre-med
i am being recruited for all three schools and i am just having a tough time deciding (i am a Libra and we tend to be very indecisive haha)</p>
<p>They're all fantastic schools. They all have smart, motivated students, but the strength of individual programs and the social life will be different depending on the school.</p>
<p>In order for us to try to help you decide which one is best for you, we need more info about you. What are your stats? What are you thinking of studying? What sort of social life do you want? How competitive an atmosphere is best for you?</p>
<p>Recruited, eh? What sport?</p>
<p>Alright, I'll bite. You really should research them, but in general I'd say Hopkins is most well-known of the three for both IR and pre-med, but it's also known to have a very competitive academic feel.</p>
<p>Cornell over Hopkins. Both are very tough but there is alot of fun to be had at Cornell. Kids celebrate everything there. Work hard and play hard if you're into it. Lots of leisure activities and diversity so it never gets old. I think Hopkins might be just a grind.</p>
<p>I don't know anything about Amherst.</p>
<p>Any would be absolutely fine. They have very different campus feels, so go with the one that feels best to you.</p>
<p>Unless you are being recruited for lacrosse, I'm surprised that they are all recruiting you.</p>
<p>In my opinion Amherst is the best school of all three for undergrad, the academic freedom to EXPLORE YOUR OWN INTEREST makes it a dream school. Maybe I'm bias, but I think more schools need to be like Amherst-with an open curriculum no core.</p>
<p>In relations to others, I would put Amherst first and Cornell second and Hopkins third. Obviously if you're seeking to go on into medical school Hopkins would come first.</p>

<p>No. It doesn't matter.</p>
<p>lol, Hopkins and Cornell and Amherst, all fine equally prestigious and highly competitive colleges.</p>
<p>Weill Cornell totally gets owned in comparison JHMS. Are you kidding me, Hopkins is like premed central. All the science wannabes want to go their know they want to become doctors. </p>
<p>If you want to go onto graduate engineering, would Cornell come first? I surely know so. lol T5 vs. T15 vs. T0 engineering programs? Come on, Its almost saying that Hopkins and Amherst would come first for graduate engineering.</p>
<p>Yeah, Hopkins med might own Weill Cornell, but pre-meds rarely, rarely matriculate to their own med schools. Going to JHU so you might be able to go onto Hopkins med is an incredibly uninformed decision; like you said, JHU is pre-med central which just means you've got an entire campus you're competing against. Hopkins med is arguably the best in the country, they don't need to take a bulk of their applicants from their own, they can pick and choose from the best from every part of the country.</p>
<p>Hopkins has a good med school, but at the undergraduate level Cornell or Amherst are better schools + much nicer environments where you don't have to wear a bullet-proof vest when walking off campus.</p>
<p>Personally, I'd go with Amherst. Boston > Baltimore hands-down.</p>
<p>But if you're a boonie loving person, Cornell is forest haven.</p>
<p>Cornell for engineering or hospitality management
Hopkins for biological sciences/engineering
Amherst for just about everything else</p>
