JHU/Penn/Vanderbilt for BME? HELPPP!!

<p>I have recieved a scholarship of $28,500 from Fulbright and Penn accepted to pay for room&board and all other expenses. Unforuntately, JHU didn't give any financial aid. I haven't received financial aid info from Vanderbilt yet.
I know JHU ranks 1st in the nation at biomedical engineering and Penn SEAS is not as strong as JHU. But it's so hard to make a decision. Waiting for suggestions and advices.. :)</p>

<p>Probably JHU for BME (as you've stated yourself). Realize that you have to work hard though and really push yourself. I would probably kick Vanderbilt out of your mind and decide on whether you like competition or not. If the answer is yes and you can work hard, go to JHU.</p>

<p>thanks for your comment. but what if i am not sure i want to study biomedical engineering? if i go to Upenn, i think i'll have more opportunities like taking classes from Wharton to see what's the right place for me or i may try to get into Jerome Fisher's programme which combines management&engineering.</p>

<p>It depends on you then. I don't know how "unsure" you are so look deep down and then do some research. Read some excerpts from people who HAVE majored in BME and see what they say.</p>

<p>Vandy...if it were my choice.</p>

<p>More laidback, less cutthroat, smaller classes, less competition for research spots at the undergrad level, more traditional college experience.</p>

<p>Just an opinion.
IB</p>

<p>This is easy... Penn has a top 10 program in biomedical engineering, and it looks like the finances make it a good deal for you too. Plus, Philadelphia>>>Baltimore.</p>
