JHU vs Cornell

Colleges and Universities A-Z Johns Hopkins University

<p>So I was admitted into JHU and Cornell. I applied to JHU for the biomedical engineering program, didn't get in, but was still accepted into the engineering school. Biomedical engineering is what I'm most interested in but I'm also a huge international relations fan and biology fan in general.</p>

<p>I was also accepted into Cornell's college of civil engineering where I would be able to major in civil engineering but also get a minor in biomedical engineering. Cornell has also granted me a special hispanic scholar status which I'm not sure whether implies scholarship or not.</p>

<p>Any advice? Either way I'm taking a gap year between high school and college, so should I defer from one and then if I change my mind re-apply to the other? Would not accepting their offer and then re-apply hurt my chances?</p>

<p>I'm interested in both colleges for such different reasons since Baltimore would provide me with the whole city experience, and JHU is definitely the way to go for medicine related stuff. But Ithaca really provides more of a college experience, the campus is huge and beautiful, and the food is wonderful.</p>

<p>How am I supposed to choose?</p>

<p>Go with your instincts! It’s the only way to really know what you want! If you love Hopkins go there, if you love Cornell, go there! Try to picture yourself on campus walking with friends and laughing, where do you see yourself on the Engineering Quad at Cornell or Hopkins?</p>
