<p>Please constructive advice only. I have narrowed my choices down to these 4 schools, but am having a hard time deciding. I want to do pre-med(though not sure about my major yet). What are the Pro's and Con's of each?</p>
<p>Note: The Brown acceptance is completely hypothetical, I would have to enroll at another school before find out the final decision, but just in case it comes to that point.</p>
<p>^ Why the bump lol?, I’m already going to UPenn :), will slightly consider Brown, but am almost 100% sure about Penn.</p>
<p>Yay! I’m also going to Penn (that is, unless I get off Columbia’s waiting list). Welcome to the Penn Class of 2015:)</p>
<p>^ Screw Columbia, Penn all the way :)</p>
<p>^ Dude, why would you even consider Brown at this point? I mean, which sounds better? “Leges sine moribus vanae” or “In Deo Speramus”? (That second one sounds kinda nasty, doesn’t it?) :p</p>
<p>Yeah Brown Sperm thing … <em>ahem</em> Speramus thing … surely sounds nasty :p</p>
<p>I still don’t see why people would want to do undergrad in NYC…are they the sort of person who never visited the city?</p>
<p>I’m not saying it’s inappropriate for EVERYONE…but a much smaller portion of people applying would actually be better off being in NYC for undergrad.</p>
<p>I love Penn and all, but doesn’t JHU have a stronger pre-med program?</p>
<p>^ In what way? I think they’re fairly comparable in terms of med school placement, research oppotrunities, etc.</p>
<p>Penn’s undergrad pre-med program is ranked #2 in the nation, Penn’s Medical school is #2 in the nation, and Penn’s hospital was the first one ever made in America, not to mention that Penn has one of the highest Medical School placement for undergrads in America. Penn also does give its undergrads an edge when applying to the Penn Medical school itself.</p>
<p>People give JHU pre-med too much credit because of their supposed “best medical school in the country status”, which in reality, isn’t necessarily true to begin with (Harvard and Penn are both ranked higher in terms of research). Additionally, just because a school is good a medical school doesn’t mean that it offers an ideal pre-med program. </p>
<p>I believe JHU will only approve a certain number of people to apply to medical school; if you don’t meet a certain quota they won’t recommend you. (Double check this please). Obviously JHU is a great school, but if you’re looking at medical school, these are things that are important to know.</p>
<p>premed at JHU is very competitive, and even though its not an easy track at penn, everyone is more laid back. statistically, penn is ranked higher than all of the other schools you’re considering. plus, uchicago is known as the place “where fun goes to die”. i was actually considering applying ED to brown and not penn, but i chose penn afterall because of its great location, and since its bigger than brown, there are more options academically and socially. i also have a friend who graduated last year who chose penn over brown, dartmouth, and yale. penn is awesome!</p>
<p>I think pre-meds can be competitive anymore. I personally think they are probably the most competitive group at Penn, I hear physics TAs complaining about them sometimes because some can be very aggressive about grades. I would go with whichever school you like best, both Penn and Hopkins offer a great education. The reason I applied early to Penn (Hopkins was another top choice) is because it has a very diverse interdisciplinary atmosphere that I really liked and there are great opportunities in the nearby area.</p>
