Hopkins gets a badQuite BrightBiology
Hopkins gets a bad rap for being anti-social and too competitive, but I have made a lot of friends here and the education I'm getting is top notch. I wouldn't trade this for any other school.

Question
As with any college whose sat>2000, the studentsAerospace Engineering
As with any college whose sat>2000, the students are majority well-rounded good at sciences/math and humanities. They're not smart, they're well rounded and will easily take the common course load by taking some science classes and a humanities class which is easy to them because they can write a 20 page essay easily.

Question
College is hard because no one tells you
College is hard because no one tells you how to study and you have to figure it out yourself, and while you don't know how to study you really struggle with inefficency. By the time you figure out how to study you have no time to study in your new way and have to study knowingly in low efficency. In high school you had more time, grades didn't matter as much. in college you get so many e-mails on how bad you are, so just delete those. unlike what's here, there is grade inflation >0 at jhu( for good reasons). if you every try to finish all your homework on a weekend, it's unlikely if you're an average student, if you try to start some new projects on the side on the weekend, it'll decrease your time to do other things. in college opportunity costs are more apparent. you're definitely burned out from hs and the people who do well tend to be the ones never burnt out from hs.
