Im in a difficult situation. I was accepted into the Honors Program at BC, and into JHU, but rejected/waitlisted from all my other top choices (Duke, Notre Dame, Cornell, UChicago…). I really like BC more than JHU, but I would almost feel bad coming here if I could go to one of the best science schools in the nation (I want to study physics). Its not like I think BC is bad, because I know its not, but in terms of science I know its not up to the level of JHU. I also want division 1 sports, which BC has, and I like the Boston area much better than Baltimore, so there are a lot of reasons to go to BC. So basically I am asking if there would be that much of a difference between the physics program at BC (honors program) and JHU, and if the difference will be enough that it should make me consider going to a school that I dont like as much (JHU)?
