Very different schools of course. If you are pre-med, I would definitely choose Smith - the weed-out rate at JHU is huge, and only about 30% of would-be premeds ever get there, whereas those weeded out would likely have turned into very fine doctors if they’d attended their local state university. For the average student, more research opportunities at Smith as well - no graduate students, who are getting PAID to embellish their professors’ reputations.

Housing of course is much, much better at Smith. To my way of thinking, the best thing at JHU is its creative writing program. What do plan to study?
