The state of Maryland is so diverse. You'll find large cities like Baltimore, suburbs that line the nation's capital and quaint towns along the Eastern Shore that sit quietly along the magnificent Chesapeake Bay. Those who choose to attend college in Maryland have a large choice of schools, including a handful that are touted as among the best in the country.
One of those is Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. This was America's first research university and nearly always ranks among the top 10 universities in surveys like the Princeton Review and Kiplinger's as well as in publications like U.S. News and World Report that post annual "Best of" articles. Johns Hopkins has schools of Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Business and Education, Nursing, and International Studies, but it is by far best known for its top-notch School of Medicine. This highly selective school accepts less than a third of those who apply, and the median SAT score is between 1400 and 1500.
If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Baltimore-Washington area, consider selecting a school like Washington College. Located on the eastern shore of Maryland, this private liberal arts college has a rich history. Founded under the patronage of George Washington, it was the first chartered college in the nation and holds the title of the tenth oldest college in America. The 112-acre campus on the Chester River is stunning, and the school just opened a new $25 million science center.
