Statistical Analyzer:

Here's my random schmorgusboard of advice:

You will you get an amazing education, have lots of opportunities to grow and learn as a person, and have fun.

BUT, I do not believe that this is the school for everyone. If you asked me do I like Hopkins, I would say I love it. I'll say it again: I love hopkins, the campus and all of its resources. Peabody is conveniently 15 mintues away for music lovers, the beach is beautiful, and well hopkins does carry some prestige. People here are serious about studying (which i like). Because I like studying.

BUT, if I knew as a senior in highschool what I know now, I would have avoided Hopkins.

Its a double-edged sword. Let me explain.

Hopkins is filled with opprotunities for learning, research, internships, etc. I like to think of this analogy: you ask for a ham sandwich, and they give you a pig and some bread. Or better yet, you ask for a ham sandwich, and they point you to the pig-stye; you have to do your own hunting.

However, Hopkins is NOT the school for everyone, and I will be honest, it probably is not the school for me. Yes, I love being here, but more because I love life and learning,than because i find an attachment with the institution. When it comes down to Hopkins as an institution, there are things I don't like.

I hate it when I read comments saying that Hopkins is soo hard and its defintiely tougher than an ivy. I mean, have these people been at ivy universities? I can't compare it to anything, because I wouldn't know. I can say thaat its rumored that jhu is hard and tough, that there is deflation. I disagree. I think that anyone here can get all As, and I do not think it is about intelligence. I found my highschool more challenging, and I especially found the students of my higschool class more intellectually stimulating peers. But i gues si just went to a very good public school in new york; apparently, most students think that the academics are very difficult. That's just not the way it is. I think that if you took a lot of AP classes in high school you will be more than prepared for the college level work. (I was).

Professors occassionally may guide you, but they really are more conncerned with their own research. [interpret this comment as you may]

In general the student body at Hopkins is not exceptional (by my standards). I came from a high school where the student body was more diversified itnellectually, people were more eager to take risks, and many of the students had different life plans. The majority of the students here are interested in medicine and hard sciences. Now, of course, this is obvious. If you are a pre-med and serious about your research in the hard sciences, then hopkins is DEFINTIELY for you. But, I am not pre-med. I was hoping to meet more diverse people. I find people here to be boring, not adventurous, not creative, and not spontaneous. Yeah they are brilliant, and yeah they work hard, but I probably would have found more interesting types at Brown.

Baltimore is a rough city. There are nice spots like Mount vernon and the inner harbor, but when it comes down to daily life in baltimore, its bad.

Just make sure that you really know what you are getting into. And realize, that regardless of what advertising materials say about humanities and social sciences at hopkins, when it comes down to it, the school is stronger in medicine and the sciences. Its definitely not a well-rounded school… and just before you get the wrong impression, i really do love it at hopkins. But if I wasn't wait-listed at the ivies, I wouldn't be here. case closed.
