Johns Hopkins v Cornell

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>After dwelling on my college options, I've come to a standstill between Johns Hopkins and Cornell, not being able to decide at all. I would really appreciate it if anyone were to weigh in his/her advice and perspective on the pros and cons of each school. </p>

<p>Below is some background information that might be helpful:</p>

<p>-I want to pursue Chemistry as a major, but don't have a specific end-game in mind (like med school or grad school/research)
-I'm really enticed by JHU's concurrent B.S./M.S.E program and Cornell's Dual Degree Program so if anyone has any info on that, I would be very grateful.
-I really like English (critical analyses of texts more than creative writing) and would want to be in a school with a very strong English program. At this point, though, I am not sure if I would major in English but it's definitely something I would consider.
-I have lived in NYC all my life...so location might be difficult in respect to Ithaca and to a certain extent, Baltimore, but I think I could handle a drastic change in pace.
-Financial Aid is about the same.</p>

<p>Thank you, everyone!!</p>
