Hello everyone,
I'm interested in finding out more info about the JHU post-bacc program. I've researched pretty much every popular program on the east and west coasts that I can think of (sorry midwest, just not interested), and I'm pretty sure that JHU is probably one of the strongest programs in these geographic areas. Great (albeit few) linkages, strong advising (the director there used to run the Goucher program), great research opps, and small incoming class.
The only ones that I think *might* in fact be better are BM and Goucher. But while BM and Goucher have extensive representation on SDN it seems JHU does not. And the threads on Hopkins that DO exist either have only a handful of posts or are simply outdated. Anyone know why this is? Am I missing something huge here?
And if you're reading this and you have experience with the Hopkins post-bacc, please answer these questions if you can:
1. Hopkins PB-ers take classes with undergrads. Do you think this hurts or helps your grades there? Are the curves brutal?
2. What were the requirements for the linkages? Were they the same standards as in MSAR or more lenient? I am particularly interested in either UPenn or Cornell.
3. Hopkins has lots of biomedical research opportunities. Were there students in the program with long-term career interests in international health (i.e., development work)?
Thanks!
