<p>Cost:
Hopkins - $12,000
Georgetown - $0
Pre-med hopeful, I'm biased against Georgetown.
Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering
Georgetown College</p>
<p>I’d say if you’re going premed, Hopkins is worth $12,000 more than Gtown.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins is more reputable as a premed school. It might be easier to get accepted to a top tier med school from there, rather than Georgetown. However, since med school is so expensive, studying undergraduate for free might be worth it.</p>
<p>The difference in cost is not insignificant, but spread over a lifetime it is insignificant.</p>
<p>If you drive or, better yet, walk through the Johns Hopkins medical campus, and then do the same at Georgetown, you will run, not walk, back to Hopkins. The difference is that stark.</p>
<p>Forgot to mention FAFSA EFC is 2000
And this is $12,000 per year</p>
<p>If you got that much aid, I suspect $48K means a lot to your family. Hopkins is worth the premium if you want to study engineering, since Georgetown does not have engineering at all (except as a 3+2 partnership deal). But then, I don’t know why you applied there if you want engineering.</p>
<p>Is Hopkins worth a $48K premium for pre-med? Based on everything I’ve read on CC about this, it’s your MCATs and GPA that matter, not where you go to college. Try to ask someone who truly understands how medical school admissions work (not other high school students) whether applying from Hopkins gives a significant leg-up for students with equal scores, grades, and motivation. </p>
<p>Both schools have attractive campuses. I like JHU’s more, but not $48K more. The JHU medical campus (unlike GU’s) is not co-located with the main (Homewood) campus. Georgetown’s surrounding neighborhood is much nicer.</p>
