<p>I would pick wherever you think would be the most happiest at and where you you think you’d FIT in at. Don’t listen to this BS on CC about which program is more prestigious. SERIOUSLY who cares if Columbia bio is like #8 and JHU’s is #3. JHU sounds kind of boring 
but that’s just my opinion…</p>
<p>I would pick Columbia! I’d also consider Cornell too but Ithaca is a pretty ****ty city…but I’ve heard Cornell’s really fun and huge. But i can imagine the student body being more friendly/close-knit at Cornell. I’ve heard that the kids at Columbia are intellectual and not as friendly…and a lot of the parties are usually off campus. Oh yeahh, Columbia has some kind of CORE curriculum…also look into that.</p>
<p>so if I had to pick it would be Columbia vs. Cornell. But make sure to visit both though to get a feel of what it might be like there…</p>
<p>Good luck & congrats on getting in! :)</p>
