<p>You’re obviously a high school student, and you wont realize this until you’re in college or out of college, but so many people put pressure on 17 year olds to decide their future at 17, and that’s a big mistake. It sounds like the only reason you’d be interested in John Hopkins is because of premed, and in all honesty that sounds like a big mistake, because you might find yourself changing your mind. You may think you want to be a Doctor, but that’s based on what experience? College is a whole different experience than high school is. It is not just about take a class, get good grades and that’s it.</p>
<p>Vassar has excellent placement, and is an excellent school. I honestly don’t think you should be applying ED to any of the schools. Early action yes, but ED no. ED is binding, meaning that if you get in, that’s where you’re going. You’re suppose to withdrawl your applications at other schools, regardless of whatever financial aid package you get, because ED is saying “i’m going to your college if you let me in, regardless of anything.” To make that kind of commitment so early on is insane! You may not realize this, but once you’re in college you’ll honestly see why people often change their minds about what career path they want.</p>
