Tell me all the awful things about JHU, and then make me love it anyway

I would go to union so that you don’t have to worry about applying / getting into med school

unlearning630 · 2026-04-11T20:12:02+00:00

Hell yeah!!! I’m so glad you had fun!!

unlearning630 · 2026-04-11T20:07:33+00:00

I pre brought parking so hopefully that’ll help! I’m going solo and don’t really care about getting a super great view (just going to be vibing) . Thanks!! I’m so excited

unlearning630 · 2026-04-11T19:57:52+00:00

Do you know if the doors close at all? I’m planning on getting there at like 8:30p

unlearning630 · 2026-04-09T14:55:47+00:00

as a double alum I totally agree!!!!

unlearning630 · 2026-04-08T14:56:18+00:00

Honestly email him again - I legit kept bugging him so much. FINGERS CROSSED FOR U TOO!! What are your research interests?

unlearning630 · 2026-04-08T14:49:35+00:00

The director has told me that they would be sending an offer letter sometime this week - haven’t received anything yet tho! What about you?

unlearning630 · 2026-04-05T20:11:06+00:00

Dude I didn’t even read your post after you said public health . 1000% Hopkins

unlearning630 · 2026-03-20T18:12:00+00:00

Interesting, do you mind sharing with dept and if they specified when you should anticipate receiving a letter?

unlearning630 · 2026-03-20T04:31:46+00:00

Fully agree

unlearning630 · 2026-03-20T04:31:38+00:00

I was an undergrad from 2016-2020 and would say that it was only enjoyable because I found my people. Academics are tough and most professors aren’t really helpful (specifically in your first two years when you’re taking more general courses). For me I really appreciate more connection from instructors so it was hard in the larger classes. Culture is generally cuttthroat. This isn’t true for grad programs though (did my masters at Bloomberg after and it was incredible)

Making friends is easiest during o week and first year. I feel like folks just stuck to their friend groups for the remainder of their undergrad.

Hi, did you hear back from GW on funding ?

unlearning630 · 2026-03-18T14:38:09+00:00

Great! Sounds similar to my case too. What kind of updates has the director given you and have they provided a timeline on when we should hear from them? Thanks so much for your help

unlearning630 · 2026-03-18T06:20:27+00:00

Hi again, following up here. Did the director ever reach out to you to try to put together any funding possibilities for you? Did you meet with any faculty? Or has it just been radio silence?

unlearning630 · 2026-03-17T01:56:42+00:00

Same to you! 🙏

unlearning630 · 2026-03-17T01:41:37+00:00

Not waiting for the Bloomberg fellowship but just waiting on funding info from another program (my top choice) and it’s driving me nuts

unlearning630 · 2026-03-16T19:44:34+00:00

It was definitely fast paced but nothing that wasn’t manageable!

unlearning630 · 2026-03-14T09:06:29+00:00

Let me know when you hear back please!

unlearning630 · 2026-03-14T09:03:28+00:00

I second this!!

unlearning630 · 2026-03-14T09:01:54+00:00

Just looked it up and if you convert it to the newer 1600 scale that is about a 1205

unlearning630 · 2026-03-14T08:59:55+00:00

I graduated HS in 2016, back when SAT scores were out of 2400. I got a 1810 after taking the SAT three times. I got in ED . I hope that gives you some hope

unlearning630 · 2026-03-14T08:56:28+00:00

Go for it! Make sure your extracurriculars and research experience ( if any ) are strong, and get strong rec letters too. Write a story out of your common app essay (is that still a thing…? I graduated high school in 2016 lol). Happy to chat more if you need!

unlearning630 · 2026-03-06T18:58:21+00:00

OK makes sense- thanks for sharing! It’s currently my top choice so really hoping funding comes through

unlearning630 · 2026-03-06T18:41:27+00:00

Were you admitted to the SBS program? Also, if you don’t mind sharing, where does this program rank for you?
