Hopkins is very demanding, but well worth the effort. You will be exceptionally well prepared for the rigors of the real world. I am constantly amazed at the achievements of my classmates. Many students tend to appreciate Hopkins more with the prespective of a few years after graduation and the ability to compare your education with others. In retrospect, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Also, it is possible (and quite common) to have an enjoyable time at JHU despite the challenging nature of the curriculum. The key is to maintain a healthy balance in your life (find one or two extracurricular or athletic activities you are passionate about) and don't become obsessed with grades. If you are smart enough to get admitted and work reasonably hard, you'll do well even if you don't have a 3.8. There has been little grade inflation at Hopkins (unlike the Ivies) and the students are uniformily bright, so "A's" are hard to come by. But believe it or not, the graduate and professional schools know that and Hopkins' grads do very well in gaining admission to the best programs. In fact, Hopkins sends a higher proportion of its graduates to to advanced degree programs than any other school in the country.
