<p>Cool, what do you plan on studying, Blah?</p>
<p>BME and a minor in business via the W.P Carey Program.</p>
<p>Cool. I was seriously consider the W.P. Carey program but it seems a little too specific for me (I'd rather a more general business program), so I think I might do a double major in writing sems/poli sci or maybe IR instead.</p>
<p>wow Blah, congratulations on getting into all of those places. Good luck at JHU, good choice!!!</p>
<p>I chose JHU over U. Mich, Cornell, Northwestern, and NYU-CAS.</p>
<p>What are all these BME........ and CAS...?</p>
<p>BME: Bio-Medical Engineering
CAS: College of Arts and Sciences</p>
<p>i chose JHU over UCLA and USC</p>
<p>from all of these posts, it seems that Cornell, Northwestern, and JHU usually are among the most common among cross admits</p>
<p>i checked with one of the adcoms and he showed me a report that listed the top overlap schools with JHU for the past 4-5 years -- it includes in no particular order: UPenn, Cornell, MIT, Duke, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Georgetwon, Stanford, Northwestern, Columbia, and Brown</p>
<p>One of the interesting things about prospects that I talk with when they visit campus is that their list of other schools besides JHU that they look at depends on their major. If someone is BME then they usually are looking at MIT, Brown, Duke, etc... but if someone is IR it may be Georgetown, Harvard, etc. I think that is why that list above is so long, since JHU pulls from a variety of areas beyond the typical natural science stuff.</p>
<p>If you plan on studying BME, you definitely made the right decision. JHU is much stronger in that field that Columbia, or any of the Ivies, actually.</p>
<p>i was over at JHU the summer before senior year for pre-college. i dno. i really dno wut the scene looks like now, but it seemed a little unsafe down there? i still applied of course, but i ended up picking Rice over JHU mainly because of the college system.</p>
<p>how's campus safety and stuff like that nowadays? (i don't mean this in a demeaning way btw. JHU is a great school, and being a BIOE major, i sort of look up to the BME program @ Hopkins).</p>
<p>I don't think many people at JHU are really upset they didn't get into other schools. It does seem that half of the students wanted JHU very badly while the other half ended up there in some sort of an unexpected way. Either way, people are generally happy with their decision. I personally was going between UVA as a Rodman Scholar or JHU BME. Particuarly since I am BME, there really wasn't much of a choice.</p>
<p>yeah that's what i hear a lot of the time too. i'm actually working in a lab where two of the grad students were at JHU for undergrad. so i've heard a decent amount =D</p>
