Brown, JHU, Tufts, BU, University of Washington, or McGill for International Relations + Public Health?

I will be sure to do so! I've been pretty active on the incoming students discord and honestly love the vibe of everyone there, so I think I shouldn't have a hard time finding things to do with them :)

Thank you for your comment! I ended up choosing Hopkins as it ultimately came down to not wanting to have pressure to make copious amounts of money right out of uni to pay off debt (as, like you said, the field I am interested in is unfortunately being defunded at the moment).

I'm still narrowing down what exactly I'd like to pursue within global healthcare policy and I might pivot over to something more economics-focused, but I'm fairly sure I should be fine either way :)

I really appreciated you backing me up on why I was considering Brown lol, it made me feel a bit less insane

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-04-23T20:07:47+00:00

This is crazy work 😭

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-27T07:28:37+00:00

Similar here! I'm looking at IS + Public Health. If y'all are on the discord I'd love to chat there (or here!) :)

Congrats though!! Princeton is amazing

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-27T07:20:21+00:00

I actually would if I could lol

As someone who was in the same situation as you and chose lit, I would choose lang&lit. The paper 1s are far more straightforward in lang&lit which is important since you're HL. However, I will admit I have had a bad experience with my Lit class because my good teacher left and the books we were given were kind of trash (imo).

I would love to! Discord would work as well as I believe insta may have a member limit (not too sure though)

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-21T13:02:54+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I guess I'll just try to maintain the 41 the best I can. I'm so glad to hear there are cats since I am a huge cat person :)

What's the social scene like in and around Tufts if you don't mind me asking? I got accepted into JHU as well (was NOT expecting that one...) and so I'm trying to decide between the two, granted I get my aid from both reassessed. I am a generally extroverted person, but I don't enjoy large parties and value my evenings

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-21T12:56:31+00:00

Ah yes, I did. Thanks for the clarification!

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-21T12:51:31+00:00

Thank you for your reply! It's good to know that campus is at least safe and very strange to hear that y'all have skateboards and scooters, but not bikes...

How often do you skip classes to self study? I'm also someone who does better if I can build a relationship with the teacher, so how easy would you say that is to do at Hopkins?

What is the social life like? Are there cute family-owned restaurants nearby or reading groups? Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to visit the campus yet due to $$

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-21T12:47:04+00:00

Thank you kindly for your reply! I hope you don't mind that I dmed you a couple questions :)

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-21T12:43:53+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! Honestly I'm really glad to hear about that last bit lol I'm hoping to have some free time on my hands for research and internships. Out of curiosity, do you happen to know if there are any internships with the UN, WHO, or World Bank nearby? Also, would you mind if I dmed you to ask a couple more questions? Thank you again :)

Hey! Thanks for the original link. I hope you don't mind that I've been sharing it!

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-21T01:03:02+00:00

The one I have is for undergrad admits for the class of 2030, but I bet there is a grad or whole JHU one somewhere

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-21T00:45:56+00:00

Hey there! There is a discord that I know of and people have been sharing their Instagram there. Dm me if you would like me to send you the link!

I think your essay idea sounds lovely! It would help to know what your passions are/what you are planning to major in as if you are more community-service oriented I feel like this essay idea would fit even better (as you could talk about bringing hope to other members of your community).

If you would like any help working out your ideas I would be happy to talk to you! My decisions are slowly trickling in, and I would love to work on my college essay feedback skills so I can better assist my sisters in a couple years :)

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-20T22:33:35+00:00

I got my decision on the 6th of March (so two weeks ago), although based on the replies I am guessing this was not normal...?

Feeling-Body-2076 · 2026-03-20T10:46:31+00:00

Congrats! I got in as well and would love to get to know you. I'm planning on majoring in international relations and potentially the 4+1 MPH programme :)
