When you talk about Brown not matching up with JHU for research opportunities you mean because of breadth and scientific impact, right? When it comes to opportunities for undergrads to get involved, the question is whether JHU stacks up to Brown. No school makes it easier for undergrads to do research than brown does.

If grad school is on your horizon, you’ll be far more competitive having had your own project in a small not so well known lab than being a humanized automated pipetting machine in a Nobel laureate’s lab. That’s good advice for either school. You always have to put in the grunt work, but make sure the lab will let you spread your wings rather than just being an extra set of hands for a post doc or grad student.
