Johns Hopkins University Top Questions

What kind of person should attend Johns Hopkins University?

Megan

Anyone that is willing to work hard and it passionate about what they are studying. One must have good work ethic and focus.

Victoria

If success is measured by the people you surround yourself with, I have been engrained into a society of "the best of the best". Unfortunately, all success comes at a price. To describe a Hopkin's student as competitive, or even cutthroat, is a gross understatement. Speaking in class is like walking through a firing squad, each locked and loaded, ready to capitalize on imperfections. Conversations turn into deliberations, casually thrusting sharp stabs at who is more dedicated. While frustrating, you must remain resilient and shift your perspective, as they will challenge you to grow, push, and prosper through adversity.

Matt

The kind of person who can handle a 20+ credit workload per semester and is ready to put their nose to the grindstone from day one. The kind of person who asks themselves "what can I learn from this person?" when meeting someone new. The kind of person who welcomes unique opprotunities and isn't afraid to learn from his or her mistakes. The kind of person who doesn't mind living close to Baltimore City Detention Center - one of the most corrupt prisons in the U.S.

Andrea

Someone who is very concerned about weeding out the competition in their field of study. Everyone is concerned about doing better than the next person instead of being concerned about how well they can do by themselves without making comparisons.

barbara

Someone prepared to work hard and play hard.

Rose

Someone who is looking for a medium-sized school, urban area. You should be self-driven and be able to balance a social life with academic stress.

mary

hard working, self-disciplined, please be nice! willing to work a lot on your own and get no sleep

Tondeleyo

The type of person who wants to have opportunities as a nurse/nursing student at one of the most innovative institutions in the country. Someone who wants to work hard and be involved with the community.

Brendan

Someone who is hard-working but kows how to relax when needed so that they can have some fun.

Patrick

This school is meant for students who are willing to put personal life and issues on the wayside in order to commit to studies. If you feel that you still have a lot of personal growth to do (and I feel that everyone while that young), this school may not be a good fit for you.
