Asked by XShould I go to Johns Hopkins or UC Berkeley for pre-med? I was appected to Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, UCSD, Emory, and waitlisted for Harvard. I want to go into a medical career, so which school would be the best for me. I have sort of narrowed my choices down to 2 colleges, but am open to heard about the other ones. Johns Hopkins Pros - I have a $100,000 scholarship ($25,000 a year) -One of the best medical schools in the nation -Small classes sizes -Right by Washington DC and NY -Top college for undergraduate reasearch -One of the top private schools Cons -Far from home -Campus seems empty -Know no one -Small football team, no school spirit -Baltimore is a ghetto -Dorms are big, but have guards so they feel like prison UC Berkeley Pros -Right by home -In state tutition -Parents Alma Mater -CAL Bears, have school spirit -Have friend there -Top public school -Telegraph St. Cons -Student body and campus to large -Large class sizes -Berkeley is a hippy town -No student research -No schlrshp

Pick John Hopkins. First of all, there's less distractions and you'll be more likely to actually study instead of partying with your friends. Secondly, I can vouch for the fact that small class sizes help you learn more. My undergraduate school had small class sizes and we got a lot more individual attention. Teachers will actually know who you are and, if you excell, will write letters of recommendation to help you get scholarships and admitted to graduate school. The fact you can do the undergraduate research, in and of itself, is a big factor. Forget school spirit and sports, you're there to become a doctor not a cheerleader!!! Look, you have a scholarship to John Hopkins! Plus don't you think you'd have an edge getting into the John Hopkins Medical School if you have a John Hopkins undergraduate degree? You'll make new friends in Baltimore
