<p>“If you’re trying to argue full faculty is less accessible at Hopkins, that’s a bit of a stretch as you weren’t a student there.
And you know this, how?”</p>
<p>I’m not trying to say faculty is more accessible at Dartmouth versus Hopkins, but I am saying current students would be in a better position to make that comparison relative to us.</p>

I would not be surprised if the OP received far less in aid from Dartmouth.
Does Hopkins even meet full need yet? (Historically it did not, but I understand that they have been trying to bridge the gap.) In any event, Dartmouth is one of the most generous colleges with need-based aid not in the class of HYP. Do not be “surprised”. Just search for facts. </p>
<p>Hopkins met 99.7% of need since last year and has been around 98% to 99% of full need met for a while now (i.e., not a difference). Do your research before you insinuate large differences in aid.</p>

One interesting note is the OP is an engineering major…
In general, any ‘E’ major is a gpa killer. Not recommended for premed/prelaw where gpa is paramount</p>
<p>Engineering GPAs are lower, but schools know this and do take this into account.</p>
