<p>I 'm an intl, and dont have the money to visit this school.
my parents just want me to apply to the Ivies and that's it, but I want to find the perfect fit. Please help by telling me what made you chose John hopkins, thanks!</p>
<p>At least try to spell the university name correctly- it is JohnS Hopkins!!</p>
<p>I liked how involved professors were and how easy it was to get involved in research. I met a couple of profs when I visited and they were great. I still talk to them regularly.</p>
<p>Top reasons for JHU:</p>
<p>Research facities for under graduates & academic excellence.</p>
<p>I'd refer you to the following student blogs - as a common blog theme our students all wrote about why they chose Hopkins:</p>

<p>Research opportunities, diversity of majors offered (I'm a BME major but I'm also interested in international politics), the campus; the people I met when I visited</p>
<p>Read through all the blogs and the Guest</a> Blog to get a feel for what Hopkins is like. (Try to see if some of the other schools you are considering have blogs or student interviews or something like that - I know MIT has some, but I don't know about anywhere else)</p>
<p>thanks guys, and rajan..cc has already too much mean people...we dun need u...deposit yourself elsewhere</p>
<p>It is kind of a running joke here how people forget or don't know that there is an S. I'm sure he/she was kidding.</p>
<p>i agree - no need to blast rajan...</p>
<p>the constant incorrect spelling of Johns Hopkins University is a running joke on CC, but more importantly it is important to get the school's name right:</p>
