Life as a pre-med

<p>How's life as a pre-med at JHU? sorry about the vague question</p>

<p>specifically public health majors with natural science focuses…</p>

<p>The public health program is very rigorous but the people in the program seem to love it and they go on to very good jobs/grad schools/med schools. I believe you spend your first three years taking courses at the undergrad campus, and then in your senior year you’re allowed to take classes at the Bloomberg School of Public Health with the master’s level students there. </p>

<p>I would recommend you post on the Hopkins Forums where a couple current Public Health majors can answer your questions:

<p>I agree with tanman. The Hopkins Forums has a ton of information:</p>

<p>There is also a ton of current Public Health students on the forums answering questions:</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I am a junior and want to apply as ED next year. Please tell me what are my chances of getting into JHU</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA is 3.8 Took AP Bio and revived a 4 and I am taking 4 this year: Ap Enviro, Us, Chem and Lang. SAT II BIO 740</p>

<p>I have done some community services in a youth organization racked up 80 plus hours form 9th grade and have volunteered in a hospital for 40 plus hours. I learn Vocal Indian music from when I was 5 and won an award in 9th grade. I have also gave out many recitals in ky temple. I am the editor of my school newspaper and play varsity tennis from 11th grade, NHS member, won an award for volunteer services, also in clubs such as unity in diversity in which I hope to be vice president, history club which I hope to have a position in next year and math club. I am also in Science Olympaid and Masterminds, which is like College bowl.</p>
