Hi. I'm currently a senior in high school and I'm deciding which colleges I should apply to. I'm considering Johns Hopkins as one of them, but I'm still not sure. I was wondering if you could tell me what the environment was like and how rigorous the engineering program is (or at least from your experience). I'm planning to be an engineer major but many people have tried to prevent me from doing so due to the huge workload. Thanks for your time! |
Major: Computer Science (This Major's Salary over time)
Hopkins is not the place for everyone. Believe what you hear, Hopkins is an extremely rigorous academic enviroment. Not that that's a bad thing, you just need to be prepared for it. Random note: Do not slack off during the pass/fail period- you still need to pass! It may sound like an easy thing to do, but for certain majors (aka engineering majors) it's not. As for the social scene, it's what you make of it. It's not the biggest party school, but you can almost always find something come Thursday-Saturday. The student body is extremely diverse- a big bonus for coming to Hopkins! Another random note: do not come to Hopkins with a closed mind (or any college for that matter). You will meet tons of people who identify with different religons, cultures, and sexual orientations. Do not discriminate! You're only cheating yourself from great experiences. Also, someone here is smarter than you! In fact, a lot of people here are smarter than you! So you got a 2400, so did a decent amount of other people here. But guess what? That means nothing! Please, do not flaunt your numbers to everyone- no one wants to hear them. Finally, I just want to address the whole: "all my teacher cares about is research" deal. Firstly, I'm in engineering (where a lot of research is conducted), and I definetly do not feel like my teachers neglect me as a consequence of their ongoing research. In fact, all of my professors are great! In closing, take what everyone says with a grain of salt; college is what you make of it!
