I know both are competitive schools. I want to do early decision to one of them, and I can only do it to one of them because both of them are binding.
I have heard that Baltimore isn’t really the best town to be in, but JHU has one of the best BME programs in the nation, which is what I think I am going to major in to get into medical school. UPENN on the other hand is located in an urban area that isn’t as bad as Baltimore, and also has a great BME program (please correct me if i’m wrong). The location of the college I go to is very important to me - I don’t want to end up in an unpopular city with no benefits. Please give me your opinions and details on both schools, all information would be very helpful to me. If you’ve ever visited one or both these colleges, please tell me about them and their programs as well as location and campus life. Your opinion on which school I should make an early decision to would be very useful. BTW /i am for Philadelphia, so PENN would be closer to home for me but JHU is only like 1.5 hrs drive for me anyway.
