<p>Both schools have excellent pre med programs. Both are excellent schools. You really can’t go wrong with either (Just wanted to underscore that ;)). To me, the question you need to ask yourself is are you a city person or not? do you like being in a big city w/ a lot of hustle and bustle? If so, JHU all the way. If not, Dartmouth ftw. Oh and for those who have been claiming JHU is not safe keep in mind that it has been rated as the safest campus in the country the last two years and the head of campus security was the head of the secret service for President Clinton. I assure you, you will be safer on JHU campus than most places.</p>
