Hey, I got into Hopkins and Cornell. I am definitely settling on Hopkins because Hopkins has way better pre med than most ivys (other than Harvard). As far as medical schools go, Harvard is ranked #1, Stanford #2, and Johns Hopkins #3, so I think its worthit. Plus, many pre meds from Hopkins get into medical school (and one of the hardest parts about becoming a doctor is getting into med school). I can’t speak about UPenn, but I know my Brother’s friend who went to Cornell Pre med and graduated with pretty great grades; she couldn’t get into med school in the US. That really scares me! And I think that UPenn and Cornell are similar in the amount of pre meds that get into med school (not 100% sure). Also, I know Hopkins is very expensive but they do give out A LOT of aid: they covered me with $51,000. And the ivys are notoriously stingy. But see how it goes, and I would say that if UPenn gives you A LOT more money then you should probably go there because nothing is more of a drage than student debt! Good luck
