a good school will be competitive no matter where you go…pre-med will always be competitive, and i’m pretty sure competition will exist in bme at any top school.

i visited washu and i loved the campus. however, i did not like how other students put down jhu as cutthroat. i stayed at an overnight at jhu and everyone was unbelievably nice and raved about the academics.

will jhu be exhausting in terms of workload? yes. but everyone i have encountered (quite a few people from my high school in the past years go there) agrees that the work you do is well worth it.

think of it this way: if you go to jhu, you will expect it to be competitive and extremely difficult. no surprises. if you go to washu and bme turns out to be very competitive as well, you will def regret your decision.
