Hopkins and Harvard

[Ella Shepherd]

Just out of curiosity, if you had a chance to decide between Harvard med school and Johns Hopkins med school, which would you choose and why?

The reason I'd choose Harvard is strictly b/c it would allow me to stay home. Otherwise I wouldn't give a hoot about the schools themselves.

You have to have something better to do with your time.

well.. hopkins it is.

 

[Ella Shepherd]

Yeah. I'll go watch TV now. It's Sunday. Nothing to do...

 

[DancerDocToBe]

Harvard.

Having now lived in both Boston and Baltimore, I definitely like Boston better.

 

[somethingpositi]

Neither. I picked UCSF.

 

[Begaster]

Which one's cheaper?

 

[154465]

neither, I don't feel like either would be a good fit for me. I really think all this obsession with big names is so out of hand and irrelevant.





Jk, Harvard in a heartbeat. I can only imagine dropping the Harvard MD bomb.... nice.

Hopkins. The winter is too long in Boston. The winter is too long in Baltimore, but it's longer in Boston. But really, neither since Durham is even warmer. Duke!

cambridge is an amazaing place!!great culture..its like a little rural england in the united states!

 

[TheRealMD]

Make both schools fight for you.

 

[Maxx4]

Princeton.

Screw them both. In the long run, a doctor from JH or Harvard is as likely to get hired as a doctor from State U.

 

[flaahless]

I'm with something positive. Go UCSF! If only we had a mascot...

what is this based on?

anyway, I didn't get into Harvard but I did get an offer from JH. I ended up choosing Yale.

Not really based on anything, aside from being tired of the hype surrounding both of them.

 

[LovelyMD]

Neither. I ended up choosing Columbia.

[OCallag]

Psh, why would you learn medicine at either of those places when you could go to medical school in the Dirty South?

Cambridge and Longwood aren't really comparable at all in terms of the character of the two places...in so far as being "rural England" or whatever.

Anyway, this is an easy question. Boston beats Baltimore every time...

:screens:

I mean screams.

 

[Ella Shepherd]

Wow. Congratulations to those who got accepted.


P.S. Harvard's winning...

 

[LikeClockWork]

Well, I'm assuming we're doing this based on prestige factor only, so I'd say Harvard. Yes, the medical community may have overwhelming respect for JHU, but people who don't know **** about anything would still recognize Harvard as the real deal.


Plus I've always wanted to live in Mass.

HMS is in Longwood with all the hospitals and medical centers. Actually, at this moment, i am working in one of those hospitals about 1 mile away from HMS.
Longwood is very different from Cambridge.

Loooooove Boston, but I'm gonna have to vote for my future alma mater...
