<p>Hey guys,
So now that acceptances have come out, I am in a huge dilemma into which school I want to go into for pre-med. I am 99% sure that I want to go into med. school, but I am having a tough time weighing the merits and fallbacks to each university.</p>

<pre><code> My 2 biggest choices are Johns Hopkins (Biomedical Engineering) and UC Berkeley (BioE).
I have also gotten into UCLA, UCSD, and Cornell, and though they arent my top 2, I cannot rule them out :\

  I live in the Bay Area and have worken hard to get into these schools. Which school should I choose, and why?? Are there any benefits to paying 10K more for a private than a public? And what are the percentages each school has to getting into Med. school??

 Also any information regarding JHU PRE-MED would be wonderful as well!

<p>Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks :D</p>

<p>Is financial aid a problem? From your post, it seems that you did not receive adequate amount of aid from (I am guessing) Hopkins? Nevertheless, BME program at Hop is very competitive and I see no reason to turn it down unless you really see yourself fitting into Berkeley or other schools that you got into.</p>

<p>If you got into BME at Hopkins, you’d be nuts to go anywhere else. good luck!</p>
