JHU (BME) vs Duke vs UPenn

I was admitted to JHU as a BME, to the Pratt Engineering School at Duke intending to major in biomedical engineering, and to SEAS at UPenn as a Bioengineering major. I have received no financial aid.

I also got into Cal/UCLA/UCSD for bioengineering. I live in CA and the UC's would be cheaper/convenient but I'd rather go to a private school.

I don't intend to become a doctor...more like researching or working at a tech company later.

Any advice to offer?

yea, i basically have the same problem except i was waitlisted at SEAS for Penn. From what i have heard, JHU is the BEST for BME and going through the rigor of the program will be amazing for you and will open up great opportunities.

The main reasons why i would go to Penn or Duke would be because it seems as though one would have more fun there.

idk, it really is a tough choice, but at least take comfort in the fact that you can't go wrong.
