<p>Does anyone happen to have any stats on how many BME accepted applicants rejected the offer in previous years?</p>
<p>1 view and no reply?</p>
<p>BUMP plase</p>
<p>i made bme.. i might reject it because i want to be a doctor, not an engineer. no point in doing all that extra work for nothing</p>
<p>yeah I have a problem. Right now I am leaning torwards BME but not 100% sure I want to do it. If I know I will stay in the biology field, but not necessarily medical, should I go to Hopkins or Cornell?</p>
<p>that's a good question.
All I can tell you is to go with what you want. Don't be pressured by what everyone around you is saying (unless it is constructive) and go with what you would prefer. Both institutions are remarkable in their own aspects: you have to choose what you like. I on the other had did not apply to cornell so I am not exactly in the same boat. However, I am torn between JHU from which I have been waitlisted and UNCCH from which I am being offered a full grant covering all but 8 dollars per year. Anyway, just like you, I have a month to decide. In one direction is a very lucrative offer (your BME, my full-ride) and in an other a school you may like more (your Cornell, my JHU).</p>
<p>Personally I think that JHU is very amazing in its BME and pre-med programs and when you compare this to any other program in the nation, it exceeds all others. However, depeding on the type of biology, (especially non-human related) Cornell with its prestige, resources, and most importantly its very natural and specialized campus might be the better choice. </p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p>
<p>the thing is if I go to JHU for BME then I would have to pay about 6000 less in loans a year. So right now I am trying to appeal my Cornell aid offer and if that doesn't work out I would probably go to JHU. Is there something JHU can offer which Cornell can't? I'm leaning torwards Cornell mianly because of the atmosphere</p>
<p>if 6000 are holding you back, try to get some scholarship. I don't know Cornell's policy about scholarship, whether they detract from what they offer or what you pay. However, 6000 shouldn't condemn you to 4 years in a college when you could have gone to one more attractive to you. If you already haven't done so, use fastweb.com and find some scholarship. Even on good scholarship for 5000 can really close the gap. Also, if you have gotten into cornell and JHU BME, you definitely have the credentials to win those bigger scholarships. Moreover, go to your school guidance office and request list of scholarships in your community. Usually, their value doesn't exceed 2000. But with your stats and abilities, getting even two or three of these will drastically decrease your burden and help you to see affording Cornell in a new light.</p>
<p>well the weather is better at jhu. suicide rate is not as high as cornell's...</p>
<p>Cornell is on par with JHU for prestige. They both lose out to the mid to upper ivies (Columbia,HYP). I made the same decision last year to come to JHU. Don't listen to online banter. I almost made the same mistake. Absolutely make sure you visit both campuses before making your decision.</p>
<p>i would^^^..</p>
