Hopkins or Harvard.
Since Hopkins is the fave, let him go! You will see more of him as he will be closer.
My son has a hard time with the idea of paying six grand a year more for Hopkins than Harvard, and having loans to boot.
As well, there are some scary aspects to each of these places. Maryland is huge. Harvard and Hopkins are really, really tough (Hopkins has a special reputation for grindingly difficult grading.).
Both Maryland and Harvard have gone out of their way to communicate that they'll do what they can to help my son succeed. It's that, "We got your back" feeling. We're just not feeling the love from Hopkins. It's probably between Harvard and Maryland.
