Chatgpt 的回答： Both UCLA and Johns Hopkins (JHU) have strong Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) programs, but they offer different experiences: UCLA: Stronger overall engineering reputation, ranked highly for ECE. Access to Silicon Valley and major tech hubs for internships and jobs. Large public university with a vibrant campus life and mild weather. More industry connections, particularly in hardware, semiconductors, and aerospace.
Johns Hopkins: Smaller, private university with a strong research focus. Known for bioengineering and medical applications of ECE. Close ties to government agencies (e.g., APL, NSA) and defense industries. More intimate academic environment with smaller class sizes.
If you're interested in industry jobs and tech startups, UCLA might be the better fit. If you're leaning toward research, defense, or medical applications of ECE, JHU could be a great choice. Would you like insights on specific aspects such as career outcomes or research opportunities?
JHU是硬核学校，录取不看那些虚头巴脑的，进去的孩子都很牛，他的工程真的很好，一点不会比u c l a 差，这些学校找工作都不是问题，校园也安全的很，附近每个十字路口都有保安。就是在文科方面，他的国际关系学院也是顶尖的，政府里校友网强大，学校亚裔孩子占比最高，每年的研究经费全美第一，还有一个大校友布隆伯格捐款极度大方，这就是排前十的原因。 带孩子去看看，多和学生聊一聊，周围走一走，包括DC。

UCLA在家门口，学费便宜，环境熟悉，周末能回家。公立大学排名第一，专业十几，离北加近找工作方便。 GA tech专业排第四，综排差点，30多，硅谷校友网强大，州外学费比UCLA贵10k。 JHU综排第6, engineering排十几但怀疑沾了BME的光，ECE可能没那么高。私校资源多，不用抢课抢工作。但它家出名在生医，ECE好像没啥存在感。另外学费贵。
经济情况是全自费，私校能负担起但也不是完全不在乎。想听大家多方意见，值得为了私校体验和 top 10名声去交私校学费吗？
数据说话，chatgpt 的回答 Here are the approximate admission rates for bioengineering/biomedical engineering (BME/BioE) at Johns Hopkins (JHU) and UC Berkeley (UCB): Johns Hopkins University (JHU) – Biomedical Engineering (BME) Overall JHU Undergrad Acceptance Rate: ~6-7% BME Program Acceptance Rate: ~10% (extremely competitive, requires separate application) Average Admitted Student Stats: SAT: 1510-1570 ACT: 34-36 GPA: 3.9+ (unweighted)
✅ Why So Selective? JHU BME is ranked #1 or #2 nationally and admits only top students. Applicants must be directly admitted into BME (switching in later is very difficult).
--- UC Berkeley – Bioengineering (BioE) Overall UCB Engineering Acceptance Rate: ~12-15% Bioengineering (BioE) Acceptance Rate: ~12-15% (competitive but slightly more accessible than JHU BME) Average Admitted Student Stats: SAT: 1450-1540 ACT: 33-35 GPA: 4.2+ (weighted)
✅ Why So Selective? Berkeley’s BioE program is top-ranked, especially in synthetic biology and biotech. Students apply directly to the College of Engineering, and internal transfers are tough.
--- Key Takeaways JHU BME is harder to get into (~10% acceptance, requires top scores & research experience). UC Berkeley BioE is slightly easier but still very competitive (~12-15% acceptance). JHU BME is more medical/clinical-focused, while UCB BioE has stronger biotech/startup ties.

🔹 Other Recognitions: Many JHU faculty are in the National Academy of Engineering & Medicine and collaborate closely with Johns Hopkins Hospital.
--- 🧬 UC Berkeley – Bioengineering Berkeley BioE is ranked top 5 and is a leader in synthetic biology, AI-driven bioengineering, and biotech. 🏆 Notable Faculty & Achievements ✅ Jay Keasling (Synthetic Biology, Metabolic Engineering) Invented engineered yeast to produce artemisinin, the world’s leading malaria treatment. Founder of Amyris, a biotech company using synthetic biology for biofuels & medicine.
✅ Adam Arkin (Computational Biology, Systems Biology) Director of the DOE Systems Biology Knowledgebase (KBase), integrating AI with bioengineering. Expert in genome-scale modeling for synthetic biology applications.
✅ Michel Maharbiz (Neuroengineering, Brain-Machine Interfaces) Co-inventor of neural dust, a wireless brain interface technology. His work is leading to brain-controlled prosthetics and bioelectronic medicine.
✅ Dan Fletcher (Bioimaging, Microfluidics) Invented a mobile phone-based microscope for remote disease diagnosis. Research featured in Nature, Science, and PNAS.
🔹 Other Recognitions: Many faculty are entrepreneurs with biotech startups, NIH & NSF-funded, and members of the National Academy of Sciences & Engineering.
--- 🏅 Who Has Better Faculty? JHU: Stronger in clinical applications, medical devices, and imaging (closely tied to Johns Hopkins Hospital). UCB: Stronger in synthetic biology, computational bio, and biotech entrepreneurship (closely tied to Silicon Val ley).

UCLA。Gatech和UCLA工程方面大差不差，但是UCLA其他方面完爆Gatech。况且UCLA转UCB没那么难。
学费不是大困难的话， 看小孩愿意去哪了
second GaTech's alum network. hate to be that gal, but GaTech is in the south--they'd hate to be called a yankee.

GT 哪里是东部? 明明是南部
你是卖房子的？
哎，这就是我纠结JHU唯一的原因了，要不然轮地方，论专业，都比不上另两家。 话说JHU为啥能排前10呢？除了医学还有啥好？
JHU vs UCLA 就看情况了。我们就在JHU附近，也严重考虑过去JHU读ECE，感觉那个GPT分析挺中肯的。JHU工程也很强的，学生里1/3是工程学院的。要我们会选JHU。
JHU一直都是全美拿科研经费最多的大学，一直都是妥妥的T10 它家除了生物医学，BME全美排名第一，其它的国际关系人文社科也很顶尖，工程也很不错

离家近，学费便宜，找西海岸科技大厂的实习和工作有优势
谢谢信息，会去访校日亲身体验一下。娃学校上届有学生去JHU如鱼得水，但人家是pre med，我娃对医学毫无兴趣。 如果不准备读博做研究，想本科直接工作，JHU ECE咋样，是硅谷公司的target吗？
如果希望去硅谷公司，那更加是无脑UCLA了。。比JHU强太多了。。
这怎么讲？UCLA也是公立第一，平均素质会不好？
毕业好找工作才是实打实的，影响一辈子的事情。。 而且仅仅就工程院校来说，UCLA很强啊。。
甚至对于孩子来说，UCLA 4年肯定比JHU 4年更开心，LA location好 气候好。。
你看录取人数就知道了。还有UCLA's transfer acceptance rate 30%左右, 一堆转学进去的。
州内当然UCLA，我们当时选择是UCLA和GA Tech, 都是cs， 都是外州，UCLA贵了将近一半，我们无脑到GAtech, 孩子很喜欢那里。
问chatgpt, 你会满意的
GA Tech校内很安全，学校外面有些地方有些破败，总体治安不错。
知道有小刘转进去的，没人念的专业，高中差点没毕业，还从UCLA毕业了LOL
我的看法，纯学术上， UCLA不如UVA， UVA法学院前五，商学院前十，医学院也不错，就是理工差点，UCLA就是地点好，报的人多。
搭车问一个 ece都学些啥？ 动手的多吗？ 谢谢！
不知为啥迷信JHU？ 和学生、教授都有合作，ECE肯定不如UCLA。即便是bio engineering, 我只能说是虚高。不够Berkeley, UCLA, 甚至是UCSD。
只能说学校的location 影响太大了。。。
医学院是很不错。本科教育不是个好选择。
排名在那里，UCLA，UCB原来都是二十几名的，标准变了，不再考虑班级大小，加上录取率越来越低才爬到十五名左右，也就是地方好。基金和学生素质都不在一个档次，UCB, UCLA 小刘学渣多，都是为挣钱闭眼招进去的, 说说JHU bio engineering 为什么虚高？它一直排第一, UCB 第六，
教授、学生水平和UCLA、Berkely 都没法比。实验室的前沿度、和start ups 的结合度， 都没办法比。
西岸、博士屯 biotech 的地理 优势太大了，在风投，创新性优势与高校相结合。
