@mamaedefamilia Thanks for your input! I did get a chance to tour brown over the spring break but unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to see Brown. I did hear that Brown has a good neuroscience program, but I’m wondering how it compares to Hopkins. I’m sure both schools have amazing academics, which is why it’s really hard to make this decision. My main concern with Brown in comparison to Hopkins is that I won’t have as many opportunities to do research or work alongside graduate students/professors. How do you feel about Brown’s programs in that regard?
@NixonDenier Wow! Thank you very much for taking the time to really delve into some answers for my questions! I do agree that Hopkins does have renowned Neuroscience and Public Health programs so that is something I am taking into consideration. I also love how much research you can do at Hopkins even early on in your undergraduate career. I think you hit the nail on the head with one of my concerns, which is the “over-saturation” of pre-med students. I mean I think it’s great that so many people are interested in the same things, but I can see how it could get overwhelming. How did you personally deal with this?
Thanks again for responding!
