<p>So everyone knows that Johns Hopkins has a great pre-med program, but what else is JHU particularly strong at? I've heard their creative writing program is pretty good. Also, what % of students at JHU actually do pre-med?</p>

<p>I believe they have one of the top international relations programs in the country (I want to say its ranked something crazy high like 2nd in the nation?)</p>

<p>Really? Is Georgetown first?</p>

<p>International Relations is the most popular major at JHU according to other posts on this site. I don't think there are as many pre-meds as you would think - maybe slightly higher than any other top university - say 20%? </p>

<p>I believe Art History is ranked #1, US News has Biomed Eng is #1 and Envi. Eng. is #5. From what I can tell, pretty much all of the departments are strong @ jhu because of the type of school it is.</p>

<p>The economics department is very strong (4 I think) and Writing Sems is 2nd in the nation. Also, the physics department is very strong, and features Adam Reiss (look him up on wikipedia).</p>

<p>This has been discussed previously:</p>

<p>Here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/johns-hopkins-university/512930-standout-majors.html?highlight=ranked%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/johns-hopkins-university/512930-standout-majors.html?highlight=ranked&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>And in answer to your second question, the amount of graduating seniors who apply to medical school ranges year-to-year between 20-24%. At any given time only about a quarter of the students at Johns Hopkins consider themselves "pre-med."</p>
