JHU vs Penn ED

<p>Should i apply to JHU or penn ED. i want to study Biology and/or be on a pre med path. i need a social scene, and a big city. Greek life is good.</p>

<p>Apply to JHU. Trust me. One of my friends is doing what you want to do. Its a realllyy good program. And the social scene in JHU is pretty good.</p>

<p>thanks! but do you have any more specific examples? I know that both schools will offer me an excellent education, but more on the social activities side. Penn is the ‘social Ivy’. can JHU compete with that.</p>

<p>What are your stats? JHU ED would be easier to get into than Penn ED.</p>

17 AP classes, the rest honors
ACT: 26 (weakest part :frowning: )
4 yr member of track and field

<p>*research assistant to the Department of Biology at Johns Hopkins University.

<p>thanks for your help!!!</p>

<p>Based on your stats, I would say JHU ED. Acceptance rate is higher. The Penn ED pool will be very competitive. In terms of social life, however, I do not know much about either school.</p>

<p>Yea JHU is also pretty social but honestly Penn is more social. Not many schools can beat penn in terms of social scene. But based on your Stats, you should apply JHU. dont worry about the social life in JHU. Its not far off from Penn.</p>
