<p>Johns Hopkins is absolutely a top school. It may not be as well known as UChicago, but honestly, that shouldn’t even be a factor in your decision. At this caliber, college is college everywhere.</p>
<p>Anyway, it’s interesting that you would post this - one of my good friends had a very difficult time choosing between the two. She’s now a sophomore at JHU and loves it. Personally, I would have picked Chicago. I think you should visit both and, if possible, attend classes - there’s no better way to make a decision. Although they’re both good schools, they certainly have their differences, possibly the most important of which is the curriculum. Chicago has a core; JHU does not.</p>
