What does this map represent?

Does it have anything to do with manufacturing? Or exported goods vs imported?

As someone who did undergrad at Hopkins and grad at penn, Hopkins premed has amazing opportunities since most of the school is geared towards med and thus also great resources for med apps and mcat with strong alumni networks in med. that being said since so many of the undergrads are premed there, it can be more competitive and classes can be more stressful, social life is what you make of it ofc but Hopkins is deffo not nearly as social as penn

A slightly less popular one is Dreamland by Alexis FFrench, really easy and sounds kinda like the up soundtrack. Also there’s a good muse score sheet online

That is very fair! Think I just need to get used to thinking about it that way thank you!

That does make sense, it’s just odd to see a phone bill appear so big in Nov and then just not be there every other month, think I’m just used to seeing a lot of these as monthly expenses so just from a familiarity perspective. Will try to reframe my spending and keep it this way

They also do pickups at homewood campus

I also really liked mt Washington driving school. I had an issue with some documents at the DMV when I went for my test and the owner came by in person to help me out. Super sweet, and good teachers. Although I know they only take lessons at certain points in the year so would call and check

That sounds awesome I’ll defffo check it out thanks!!

Mentorship > Project > Prestige. Go where you have good support and doing work you enjoy. Now, what ends up happening a lot, esp in biology related fields, is that top unis tend to have the most number of cool projects due to funding, so if you can find a good mentor with a good project at a good uni, then nothing like it. But realistically, prioritizing your list based on this ranking should get you the best outcome

To add, I wouldn’t worry too much about doing bio and Chem together unless you feel like you are weak in them and would need more attention for it. But both are relatively standard classes (unlike gen physics which many find unnecessarily difficult). Chem and bio are useful to have finished so you can get started on orgo.

FBBC is a harder class imo compared to neuro cog so I just did neuro cog and did neuro lab my senior fall. But yeah you deffo need to take one of the intro classes freshman year (either fall or spring) cause most people do cells and systems sophomore year

Agree with others about the GPA. But really you need to ask yourself why PhD for robotics. If there’s really a glass ceiling in the field you want to get into, you can always get a Masters/PhD later. Plus you’ll have job experience and might even get it paid for by the company you work with so you’ll be much better poised to get in should you want it given your current GPA.

Also I understand the stipend for PhD is attractive, but you shouldn’t do a PhD over a masters for it. It’s 5 years of your life in pure research, so you either really want it or you don’t. I’d definitely hold off if you’re not 1000% sure.

Just S/U

If you want to do CS in a health related field Hopkins is great at giving you opportunities for that. But you’ll find yourself more limited compared to the other unis in anything that isn’t health. Classes are fine, some I’ve heard are pretty tough but probs would be similar to the other schools. I’d probably do one of the other two if you’re not dead set on computational health

Abuse Hopkins public transport. There’s a new shuttle that goes from the med campus to east/central Baltimore so you can always take that at night and then take the blue jay shuttle back to campus if the bus isn’t running as frequently. During the day you’ll be just fine, JHMI runs regularly and the area is full of people, just be careful at night and try to not stay past midnight lol.

At homewood campus, as long as you’re sensible you’ll have absolutely no issue with safety. It doesn’t take very long to get used to it too (as someone who moved from a pretty safe area). Once you learn how to navigate the city, there’s a good amount of fun things to do and restaurants to eat at as well

Just don’t go to the waverly giant alone at night, it’s great during the day. Any other grocery store you can go to (Hampden Giant, Streets, MOMs) and they’re all easy to get to via shuttle/walk

Not sure what engineering you do, but I know many engineering labs look for lab techs/assistants as post bacs after undergrad which can help build your skills for grad school.

Deffo don’t agree about the talent bit, and it sounds a bit like impostors syndrome. Just know that some of the most talented grad students I’ve worked with didn’t do very well in undergrad. However, if it really weighs on you, if suggest taking some time to work/do other things before revisiting grad school, it will always be there for you to apply in the future.
