<p>Let me ask you this question, will I survive BME at JHU? I've been doing a lot of self asking and now I want to know what you guys think... Don't be encouraging or discouraging just tell me what you think...
I'm giving you stats because that's the only way I can express my intellectual limitations and abilities.</p>

<p>I have a 3.8 UW GPA in High School.
I took 2 APs in Sophmore year (Euro History, and Art History)
I took 3 APs in Junior year (US History, Eng Lang and Bio)
I got all 5s and one 4 (eng lang.)
I'm taking 4 more APs in Senior year, one of which is calculus and the other 3 are humanities based. I am sure that I will not be getting more than a 2 on the AP Calculus AB exam (Just assume that I am, for arguement's sake. It's not unlikely either.)</p>

<p>I'm a hardcore computer geek. I took 2 Courses at city college so far. 1) Perl Programming - A and 2) Unix Systems Programming - A</p>

<p>But my background in math and physics is very weak. I am however highly motivated and highly organized and have, according to many, the mind and abilities of an engineer. I'm just afraid that JHU's cutthroat environment and tough classes might kill me. So the question is will I be able to catch up with the rest of the class, or will I be downtrodden and dead before I have a chance to wake up. I'm guessing I only need 1 semester to catch up. Your suggestions are welcomed and most esteemed. But be honest with me.</p>

<p>Oh and I got a 750 on the IC math and a 750 on the SAT I math.</p>

<p>i was actually wondering the same thing. Is bme impossible and are you still able to have a decent social life?</p>

<p>All that high school AP stuff is great...but that doesn't tell you how good of an engineer you will be. Neither do SAT scores. If you work hard, you'll make it through BME. Just remember, Johns Hopkins is arguably the best school to go to for BME, so you are going to be up against the stiffest competition that BME has to offer. You'll be fine though. Just work hard.
Going to profs and and TA's during office hours always helps me stay with the rest of the class. It's just a suggestion...</p>
