Hi, wanted to get some input on JHU vs Duke. Right now, my heart is with Duke as I have not gone to the Hopkins second look yet. My #1 priority is choosing the school that will take care of me, as I have a painful chronic condition, and money a close second priority. JHU pros: -received full...

Hello, so I was very fortunate to have been accepted to both of these programs. But I am having an impossible time choosing. Background I was a Computer Science and Data Science major, and worked as a software engineer. I have physics and both these programs confirmed that I don't have to take...

I am currently a 4th year student at Boston University majoring in Math & CS with a 3.3 GPA, I have taken almost none of the required med-school pre-reqs. My question is in regards to the difficulty of the JHU Pre-Med program. From what I've read, the program is designed to weed out a lot of...

I've just been accepted at UF Pre-health Post Bac, but since the program is relatively new, I can't really gauge how competitive the program is. Does anyone know the median gpa for the accepted students or is willing to share their stats? +Anyone entering UF Pre-Health Post Bac class of 2020...

Hi! I'm graduating this May and know that I probably need an academic record enhancer post bacc program to be considered a strong applicant. I'm currently looking at Georgetown SMP, BU MAMS, Brown ScM and Johns Hopkins Master of Health Science (all 1 year programs) and got accepted to Duke MBS...

Has anyone heard about the Hopkins Hospital ED Volunteer Program? It's not anywhere specific on the hospital's website, but I heard from a friend that it's like a legendary program that gives them a bunch of training and they do a lot of things with the doctors and nurses and even round on...

I'm a non-Canadian international student looking to strengthen my science GPA before applying to US med schools. I plan to apply after completing a Master's program. I have 3.51 uGPA, 3.46 sGPA from a top ten university in the US (notorious for grade deflation), and 501 MCAT (retaking). I felt...

Hello everyone, I have one more year to graduate and I already did research for a whole summer. My question is aimed at the amount of research I have to do before applying to MDPhDs. From what I learned I will need AT LEAST 2 years of research, is that correct?? I also read that it is better to...

Hi all, I have gotten into two excellent programs and am stuck deciding. I am currently working as a consultant in Kenya and won't be able to attend accepted student day or visit campus before the fall. I got into Johns Hopkins MSPH in Population, Family and Reproductive Health and Emory...

I am considering a 1yr deferral of admission in order to save money for tuition. Has anyone done this with the Hopkins program, specifically? How much detail should I include in my request? It stipulates that I have to pay the deposit and accept the offer of admission, but in the rare case I...

Hi all! I'm at a very strange and promising crossroads and would love to get some feedback, because I'm truly at a loss for what direction to take. I just got accepted to the Hopkins MPH Full-time program for the upcoming year, which I honestly thought I had no shot at. While waiting for that...

I'm currently a freshman just about to finish my first semester at a medium-large state school. I'm a psych major and on the pre-med track, but the school I'm at is considered to some as a "safety" school and a "party school" even though it isn't a community college. I'm having an internal...

Hello, I am doing an away elective at Hopkins this summer and it looks like it's with the consult service. Has anyone done this away before and could comment on what to expect in terms of student role? Thanks in advance!

Hello all! I was hoping to get some light shed on a few questions I had about JHU's MHS and Ph.D program in Epi. I can't seem to find my answers in the handbook they have online. If I'm admitted to the MHS program, can I internally apply for the Ph.D program? If I'm admitted into the Ph.D...

Since acceptances have started to roll in for 2017 I figured it would be nice to have a place for applicants and admitted students to discuss any questions we may have.

This goes out to anyone who has enrolled before: What do I get for my $600 deposit? A sweater, t-shirt, hat? I'm just curious because I like free stuff (if you ignore the $600...).

I'm just wondering, if someone was dead set on wanting to do linkage after getting accepted to one of these top post-bacc programs, what is the likeliness that this will be accomplished?
