Northwestern vs. Johns Hopkins

[al6200]

<p>

Given JHU’s ability to attract pre-med applicants, there’s probably a higher concentration of pre-meds there who are GPA-conscious and are competing for a limited number leadership positions in clubs/medical research. NU has historically attracted students of more diverse interests, e.g. communications, economics, music, sociology, education, journalism, etc.

<p>Nah. JHU is just as strong in international studies, history, poli sci, philosophy, etc. It’s not just medicine. JHU has more pre-meds than other schools (it’s like 20%) but it’s not like they dominate life on campus.</p>
