<p>Hey,
I'm kinda having trouble with these two schools. As a new york resident, Cornell would be, financially, the best choice. But I don't know if PAM is right for me. I am considering becoming a lawyer but that may be subject to change depending on what I like. I love history so jhu is very attractive. But policy analysis and management is an equally interesting major and I really don't want to regret missing out on it. The schools overal are sort of tied, although Cornell was my first choice during the application process. So, yeah, I'm kinda stuck here. Any information about either of these programs will be very appreciated! Thank you! XD</p>
<p>You can get an MA in history from Johns Hopkins along with your BA in just four years. About 25% of history majors choose the MA path. About a little more than 40% of students in the history major go onto law school, and jhu has very good placement at law schools. This is all information learned from attending the admitted students weekend and sitting in on the history majors meeting.</p>
<p>Hopkins takes the advantage in the following areas:</p>
<p>-freshman class size: 1,200 @ JHU v. 3,300 @ Cornell
-Urban location (easy access to east coast, NY-DC)</p>
<p>Cornell takes the advantage in the following area:
-cost (for you)
-party school (if this is what you’re looking for)</p>
