101 Reasons to attend Johns Hopkins University

<p>No, but I'll make one and check it out =)</p>

<p>But where am I supposed to sign up? The korean one or american one? Sorta confused xD</p>

<p>The Blue Jay is a horrible bird. I cannot imagine why anyone or a school would want it as a mascot. Might as well use a Crow. </p>

<p>When I saw the "Blue Jay" I decided Rice was a better choice "Owls" !</p>

<p>Flock birds like jays and crows tend to mob owls and drive them out of their territory...FYI.</p>

<p>congrats. i hope you choice between schools b/c of mascots works out.</p>

<p>bitter reject!!</p>

46) Ranked as 24 as a feeder college into top med, law, and buisness programs after graduation...it should be noted that hopkins rank is lowered a bit since hopkins does not do too well in law and buisness placements in the really high topped schools, but is still placed as 24 for what reason? =D

<p>hey admissions daniel, if mason hall is the new registration / admissions building, what happens to garland?</p>

<p>Garland has plenty of other offices/departments in it: Financial Aid, Registrar, student Employment, the place we send our tuition checks, the provost's office, academic advising, pre-professional advising, the career center, President's Office, Jcard office. </p>

<p>Frankly, I don't know how or where in Garland admissions did their thing.</p>
