<p>I'll try to keep this plain and simple. Obviously, I have been accepted to both schools and am now forced to make a really tough decision. Hopkins will cost 44k a year; Emory will cost 33k year because I got a small scholarship to accompany some financial aid. In a nutshell, Hopkins=big loans and Emory=small loans. My intended major is Biology. There is a possibility I might end up being pre-med, but as of right now, I am leaning towards getting my PhD in microbiology or some other biological discipline. I visited Hopkins and thought it was BEAUTIFUL and really enjoyed it. I will be taking part in the open house at Emory on the 23rd. I'm really excited for that, as well. Comments? Advice?</p>
<p>p.s. WashU was immediately cast out because of giving NO aid. It was going to be almost 54k a year. Why do people tout them as a school with generous financial aid!? lol Just sayin!</p>
<p>Go to Emory… The academic difference is pretty non existant and Emory is offering you more money… and at Emory, you can balance work and play… I hear Hopkins is more intense and a GPA killer! If you have specific questions about Emory, PM me… both are great for biology btw.</p>
<p>Both have great research opportunities … Emory has the CDC right near campus and theres the Emory hospital which has a great reputation. I’m not sure about Hopkins but from what I hear, its research opportunities are great as well.</p>
<p>Which one do you think would be more inviting to gay males? I hope that isn’t a dumb question; I know that there isn’t really a definite answer to it. I’m just wondering.</p>
