JHU vs Brown pre-med

<p>According to Brown’s site, a maximum of about 180 people apply to medical school from Brown. The admission rate might be high, but the number of people applying is relatively low. I believe at Hopkins about 40% of people enter interested in pre-med. If more than 60% of people actually do go to medical school, that’s 320+ accepted students. I think the problem with JHU is that too many people are under the pre-med mindset because, hey, it’s Hopkins (my parents, for example, want me to try the medical track even though I have no interest); however, they aren’t actually fully committing themselves. Being a doctor takes a lot of hard work and determination, and you really need to accept that you’ll be sacrificing a lot of your time (which not everyone does). Anyway, percentage wise, Brown may be higher, but more people go to medical school in general from JHU. It’s all relative, so find the best fit for you!</p>
