So, I’ve narrowed it down to JohnnieHops and Cornell, but frankly, which one?

I love the sciences, and I know that I want to go Pre-Med. Most would tell me Johns Hopkins immediately, but I am a bit unsure. My interests are very broad, and span from history to creative writing. I want to major in the sciences, but I also want to take compelling courses in other subjects.

Can Johns Hopkins offer me courses in these areas competitive with those of Cornell?

They’ve given me an awesome package, and it’s something I would hate to turn down. Does Cornell really overshadow Hopkins in other areas besides the sciences, or is that just rumor?
