<p>which should i choose in terms of best job placement and law school for me later (i'd be in gallatin)</p>
<p>i think they both would have really good job placement. i think this one just comes down to fit.</p>
<p>I have seen several threads on this very topic and I will respond the same as I did to the others.
Both are very good schools and it depends on what you are interested in. What is your intended major?
What is your personality/genre type?</p>
<p>The thing is, I’d fit in pretty well at both. I’m kindof like this mixture of both the schools’ reputed “personalities”. Are they really on the same playing field, as I see that NYU is lower ranking than JH? Is it an unwise choice to choose NYU over JH?</p>
<p>i would probably do english</p>
<p>Well, it really is about fit. My daughter was accepted at both, given a very good financial aid package at JHU. We visited and immediately she knew it wasn’t for her. I would suggest you visit if you haven’t already before the May 1 decision. If you want a beautiful, stately campus with a quad, the JHU may be for you. When we vsited, the students were preppy, and bland. Everything seemed hushed. NYU seems to be a more vibrant and alive school. Students seem to be more on the artsy, alternative side. You have NYC as your learning ground, especially if you are in Gallatin, which relies a lot on NYC as a basis for all the learning opportunities it offers. Gallatin is sort of avante garde and unique, which in of itself is a good thing and makes it special. Good luck.</p>
<p>wow, thank you so much!</p>
<p>Kirunner–I am having the same issue! I got into Writing Sems at JHU–a total dream acceptance. However, I agree with what milkandsugar said about JHU students. They definately seemed bland and I would much rather prefer a school with flavor. The only problem is, I applied to NYU’s CAS since I didn’t think I’d have a shot at any decent writing programs, period. So I am considering going to NYU and then trying to transfer to Gallatin.</p>
<p>p.s. if you want to do English, both NYU and JHU’s English depts. are among the best in the country. So either way, you’d be set.</p>
<p>this is the hardest decision ever! both schools have so many pros and cons. i wish i could pick up johns hopkins gorgeous campus and move it to new york…</p>
<p>how about pick either one, transfer to the other one after 1 or 2 years. There, you go to two different schools. Or you can pick one for undergraduate studies and the other for graduate studies.</p>
<p>Well, it’d probably be a LOT easier to transfer from JHU to NYU than vice versa.</p>
