<p>I've thankfully been accepted into all four schools, but am facing a hard task in determining where I want to go. A lot of it will have to do with how much money each school offers me but I was hoping if someone could give me the pros and cons of each school. I plan on majoring in public health or something of a pre-med track (i.e biology). I know everyone will say I need to visit the schools and I realize the importance of that but I am just unable to do so due to certain extracurricular commitments (state competitions) and such. I will visit Cornell and maybe Johns Hopkins but thats it. Any advice on where I should go?</p>

<p>I didn’t study public health but there seems to be a consensus that JHU has the best public health program in the country. I think these rankings are for graduate programs but the undergrad program is widely acclaimed as well. You’ll have to visit to get s better sense…</p>

<p>I went to Stanford and have friends at Stanford med. Not sure where you got the Stanford public health is better than Hopkins bent.</p>

<p>Additionally, it’s hard to compare school educations as you have. Especially if you haven’t attended both.</p>

<p>If you are talking about non-need based scholarships, then JHU offers very little - their merit scholarship, I hear, are offered to ~20 of the 1500 incoming freshman. good luck getting it!</p>

<p>Well I think Hopkins and WUSTL have the best programs out of all those colleges. But the stereotype is that Hopkins is cutthroat competitive and WUSTL is collaborative. I can’t speak for Hopkins myself but my best friend goes to Hopkins and is having a hard time. I would go with WUSTL. Cornell is great too, but it’s rather too big for me and Emory is a notch less reputed and recently, there was a sat score misrepresentation scandal. I wouldn’t want to go there.</p>

<p>I’m currently attending Johns Hopkins University.
I believe we have one of the best Public Health Program.
We get to take courses at JHSPH, which is #1 in the nation, I believe.
There is no doubt Johns Hopkins will be the best if you are considering Pre-Health track.</p>
