Johns Hopkins = best pre med



Perhaps. But everyone knows it with certainty; thus, it is the most competitive.

Definitely Hopkins for BME, but any “E” pretty much eliminates the opportunity to dabble in the liberal arts. “E” just doesn’t allow much time for electives in any college.

Personally, I’d go with Dartmouth for someone also interested in liberal arts. Sure Hopkins and Cornell have outstanding liberal arts too, but with the absence of a lot of grad programs Dartmouth is undergrad-focused.

But any of the privates will prepare you well for med apps. Choose the environment where you’d rather live for four years instead.
