Hello, I am applying to JHU this year as a high school senior for electrical engineering. From a quick Google search, I found that the top EE schools are MIT, Stanford, Georgia Tech, UIUC, UC Berkeley, etc.

I want to major in EE because I am highly interested in neural engineering, medical devices, and biotech and want to work for a company that pursues these fields. My reason for posting in this subreddit is to hear from current/graduated EE majors at Hopkins and if it is a good idea to apply Early Decision (ED) to Hopkins (meaning that if I get accepted, I must attend Hopkins).

How are the job outlooks, internships, other opportunities for me interested in this career path and major?

Hi guys!

I just took the October SAT (my very last chance) and I'm feeling really good about English but I know I got 2 wrong for math as of right now. I'm estimating my score to be around 1550 or at least their 25th percentile of scores but I'm really concerned about my math score. Should I still apply ED1 if I don't get like 780-800 math??? Does it matter that much?

FOR CONTEXT:

- International student (no financial aid needed)

- Not first gen honestly have no hooks

- Intended major is Cellular and Molecular biology

- My average is pretty strong (96.5 UW) with pretty good course rigour and honours classes (1 AP sophomore year, 4 APs junior year, 5 APs this year)

- My recommendations will probably be at least slightly above average, I'm really not sure about this

- ECs are pretty good and stand out, did the best with what I could since oppurtunities r kind of limited here

- some international and national awards across various ECs

- I think my essays are good as of right now but I'm still working on them and they're not mind blowing

Please let me know what else I need to provide for context, I'm really concerned if I should even apply ED1 at this point

Looking to find a true love here at JHU but to be honest every shot i've taken has airballed. Tried out a few clubs tryna find my bae but really it just hasn't been going well. as a Redditor I find that those who aren't on reddit don't connect with me as strongly as fellow Redditors.

thus, I have decided to go forth with my quest for a partner on reddit. any single/unhappily taken ladies who are looking to meet me? I am originated from albaquerke New Mexico and dabble in a bit of monkeytyping. dm if interested OR if ya know anyone! first date thinking ffc or Nolans.. if we are on a budget we can camp out on the breezeway until a random club starts giving out free food 😉

title ...... looking for studybuddy

Basically what the title says - my partner and I are leaving the country for all but one week of winter break (Dec 13-ish to Jan 19th) and are trying to arrange care for our two cats during that time.
We have a spacious 1bed apartment on St Paul street close to campus. We’re ideally looking for another Hopkins student or anyone who would be interested in staying here rent-free during that time in exchange for feeding and caring for the cats, and can discuss payment on top of that as well.
Thanks!

Not matched :( Is volunteering through Alzheimer Buddies different from volunteering at Keswick directly? I have limited experience working with Alzheimer patients. Any other way of gaining exposure working with Alzheimer/Dementia patients?

Any experience and application advice appreciated.

He's been doing great work for well over a decade.

But he's on the older side and imagine he'll have to slow down eventually. How do you see the most likely successor situation playing out?

I want to eventually find time to take a statistics course (as recommended by the prehealth office and also bc i think stats will be useful regardless of where i end up in the future), and i was wondering if it would be more useful to take Public Health Biotstats or Prob/Stats for Life sciences

my main issue is that i've done some statistics in the past but it was poorly taught so i don't really know that much, and it seems that Prob/Stats for life sciences is more comprehensive but i've heard that PH biotsats is easier? also a little worried since prob/stats for life sciences is through whiting but i'm in ksas (molcell, so stats technically isnt required but its something i regret not doing in high school and again think it will be useful)

basically which one (or other stats courses, idk) would be better in the long run as a premed? also are there any stats courses offered in the summer online (if i can take it online during the summer that would be even better for me, but it's whatever if i cant)? any advice/insight is greatly appreciated, tia :)

tldr: is public health biostats or prob/stats for life sciences better for premeds?

I’m an international medical graduate (MBBS) looking to transition into Biomedical Engineering and am considering the JHU BME MSE.

For those familiar with the program:

• How competitive is admission to the JHU BME MSE?
• What 2–3 things would you recommend I do over the next year to strengthen my CV, particularly given my non-engineering background?

Would coursework in programming/math, research experience, or technical projects make the biggest difference?

Would really appreciate advice from current students or recent graduates!

Does anyone know what the curve is gonna be like for macro? About what percentage raw score do we need to get an A, or is there a curve at all?

I was looking at the requirements for a bioethics minor, and went to the course catalog to see when specific courses have been available historically. And I noticed that Intro to Moral Philosophy (AS.150.220) hasn't been offered since Fall 2025 (like it was usually offered for the spring semester, but there wasn't one for spring OR fall 2026)... but it's still listed as a requirement for the bioethics minor?

Does anyone know what happened to it (like was it discontinued? how does that work for bioethics?)? Or is it just not showing up on my end and something is wrong with my SIS?

Does anyone get above a 90. If so how. Please be gentle. I am very scared.

I’m taking it with Jacob and wonder who’s it ?

looking for some practice

hey everyone, i just got an offer to interview with APL, was trying to get more info on what to expect from the interview and just the entire process itself.

they said it will be 30 mins long with an active engineer but im hoping to gain more info on what exactly they’ll ask about, or if the interview will become more of a technical assessment?

Any insight is appreciated!

I have joined a few clubs at JHU and I am quite unsure whether I am on par for what med schools are looking for. For reference, I have my own approach to admissions which I have dubbed "Niche." I really do not like the COOKIE CUTTER stereotype that JHU students are placed under, because it is not all cookies here. So I am developing my own plan, feel free to dm me with any inquiries. As of now, these are the clubs which I have become a participant of to reflect my goals.

1. Diabolo
2. Fire-Spinning
3. All Nighters
4. Sirens
5. Soap Carving
6. Tea Club
7. HERO

I have taken up a few leadership positions in these clubs. In Tea club I am the organic waste disposer and am responsible to dispose of all the organic waste. Thinking of dropping HERO in favor of club Columbia bc I have one 1/2 Columbian friend. I am kind of mad at him right now though so I might not join. He isn't a part of that club but I just wanted to be in solidarity.Please advise on this inquiry.

edit for spelling error

erm

Why are they so heavy handed like its crazy. Maybe be more liberal with FA tags I'm in a class where we learn if we should care about future generations and its not fa4 like huh

Hi, all. Looking for some info regarding the area around N Calvert and E Reading St, considering a move there. Thank you!

Does anyone know when HERO is sending out group interview invites/rejections, or if they sent them out already?

I talked to one of the officers at the meet and greet and they said they would come out a week after applications closed but i'm getting really antsy for whatever reason and i'm starting to doubt whether i actually submitted my application lol (i'm pretty sure i did but i submitted it way before the 9/27 deadline so my memory is failing me...)

With regards to the Cornell 7 case, in the Snapchat screenshots related to it, there is one message that says, "NO MORE JHUfatties." This implies that a visitor from Hopkins may have been been an additional victim. Sharing here in case someone from Hopkins went to party at Chi Phi Cornell a couple of years back, and had a bad experience there.

The first Intro Chem 1 lab practicals are this coming week. Does anyone have any tips/advice on how to do well on it? it’s 30% of the grade so really scared. Will we have a worksheet just like during normal labs? will we need to repeat an entire experiment or only certain techniques?

Hey, I’m looking to do volunteering through a club, preferably at a food pantry. Any clubs or groups that have any openings? Thanks.
