MIT definitely if you can get in.
Next, Johns Hopkins (though campus is dicey)
then Duke.

@lesdiablesbleus

Generally, MIT>Duke>JHU, but in the realm of BME, the latter two are academic peers and MIT is generally not considered to be as strong. Picking between Duke and JHU, I would recommend Duke because it has greater name recognition/prestige overall and can give you a better overall college experience. JHU is also a lot more cutthroat than Duke.

The OP deciding between MIT, Duke, and JHU chose MIT and is a happy sophomore there.</p>

<p>For honest93, Duke is not an option, so there is little point in discussing it.</p>

<p>Incidentally, JHU’s campus is not “dicey.” In fact, it has a lower crime rate than any other top 25 school (including Dartmouth). It is when one steps OFF campus that things get dicey.</p>
