Being
perfectly honest...Hopkins is a great school if you are going
to be premed or bio or any major other than
Biomedical Engineering. There definitely is a social life on
campus, but Biomedical Engineers (BMEs) do not participate in it.
The amount of work we are expected to do
is Herculean. The program is great but it is
taught the wrong way. This is truly a RESEARCH
university. The faculty is somewhat concerned about the success
of the students but they wind up turning their own
current research into impossible problem sets. It truly seems
like our department wants to pump out 10-20 high GPA
students while the rest of us are fighting for average.
Many classes are curved down. Grade deflation is
rampant. Math department started new rule where only 10%
of students get A's. I don't know if I
would say that the students are cutthroat...its just that no
matter how hard you try, you will likely be average.
Its really depressing. Especially watching all of your
friends not in the department go out and have fun
when you know that you really shouldn't because you have
2 BME tests on the same day and hour apart
next week on top of your 4 problem sets.
Each faculty member thinks that you are only taking their
class and they put unreasonable demands on you. I've
been told to skip a test by my own advisor
to go to the medical campus and collect data for
a project I am doing on the side. In
Hopkins BME...you truly feel like your time isn't worth anything
to anyone. I'm taking about 19-20 credits every semester
in order to finish the double major I'm trying to
do. It's actually hilarious because my BME GPA is
right around average while my CE GPA is much much
higher. Its not that I can't get good grades,
its just that the expectations and the workload and everything
else about the BME department is outrageous. If you're
reading this and you are thinking about entering the BME
program here, I would seriously, honestly, strongly consider any other
college offers you have on the table. I really
could never wish this on anyone.
