Hi all, thanks for the help. I am currently leaning Hopkins but just want to hear some thoughts before I pull the trigger.
Hopkins:
Pros:
Pros:
Hopkins:
Pros:
- Full PF (for now)
- Met a few more people that I liked at second look compared to Penn
- Big new emphasis on AI/informatics that fits my interests
- full COA
- Baltimore isn't the best place, but I'm not too sensitive to location
- Will definitely need a car
- Heard speciality I'm interested in is hard to work with, and one of the few specialities Hopkins is weak in
Pros:
- Philly better city, walkable too
- Stronger in the competitive specialities I'm interested in with better match apparently
- Larger LGBTQ+ student population
- Graded clinical is rough but undisclosed internal ranking is tough for me to swallow (current students say its easy to get honors though?)
- More expensive by 5-10k a year
