<p>ive heard great things about st andrews, and syracuse. I know GW and american are great, and have a great location. And i also know that the overall best program on your list is Johns Hopkins. Why dont you check out other more competitive schools with great programs. If you are shooting for Hopkins (and you have good enough grades and test scores to get in) then i think for the most part, the other schools you are listing would not make sense to go to assuming that your academic ability is a notch above the rest of the students at those schools.</p>
