Uh, JHU may be #1 in BME but Duke is #3-do you really think there’s that much of a difference between the two programs at the undergraduate level? Get real.

You’re too new to these forums. Medman (previously known as hoyasaxa) is a Georgetown alum who supposedly transferred from Duke and all too often has an ax to grind. Such biased opinions are of no consequence. </p>

<p>tanman (a Hopkins BME alum now in MD/PhD grad school at Duke) has spoken favorably of the programs at both universities before. He wrote a very detailed and helpful analysis of the BME programs at Duke and JHU a while back that would be worth a read:</p>

<p>The three schools are comparable for BME and med school placement. Academic differences are dwarfed by differences in location, size, atmosphere, weather, and the like. It is best to choose based on fit.</p>
