[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the alternative is  BME or BioE at Harvard, MiT, Duke, Penn, Princeton, Columbia, pick JHU. If you have one of the other options, pick for fit. Go visit. 
If Hopkins is the only top option it would be insane to turn it down. 
DC is BioE at one of the ivies above. Good friend is Hopkins BME and finds the grading and collaboration is similar to the ivy. Lots of intense students but in a good way, all aim for top research jobs and most get one of their top three choices. On campus is extremely easy for every student to get research. They all had top summer positions after sophomore year. [/quote]

OP - The alternative is Dartmouth, either Bio or Engineering or some kind of combo.  DC was looking at Bio for all colleges and only applied BME to Hopkins because there's no way to transfer into that major later.  DC is not sure what they want to do after college.  Loves learning and has a strong work ethic, but also wants a good all around college experience so they are torn.[/quote]
Though there is no way to transfer into BME at JHU, it's very easy to transfer out if not a good fit, e.g., to CAS for a bio major.  [/quote]
