JHU or NEU?

$200 Wes evaluation has made me doubt if I would even accept JHU if I got an admit. I already have an admit from NEU for MS in Biotechnology. I applied to JHU for MS Biotechnology with the concentration of Regenerative and Stem cell technology.

https://www.reddit.com/r/biotech/s/MG26fkxtMD

I found this on reddit, and all the comments say that NEU is much better than JHU. Is it a well known fact?

My future goals are to work in the healthcare industry. Maybe even do a PhD later in the future.

Thoughts on new student center

My son is a JHU football recruit, who's likely to commit soon with an admission guarantee in ED2.

The tour we took was given by severely of the injured players, so we got a very unofficial look around the campus earlier this fall. It was only after that tour that we learned about the new student center that's currently under construction and set to open next year.

The articles we've read make the student center sound really cool and that it will add a lot to campus, but I'd really like to hear what thoughts some current students have about the new student center, if you don't mind.

Just submitted JHU application

I have submitted my JHU application for the MS in Biotechnology program.

How should I proceed with the "course-by-course evaluation"?

Do they require official transcripts to be sent to JHU for the initial review process as well? I have attached a scanned PDF of my transcripts to the application.

I have already sent the TOEFL scores, so that part is sorted.

Fall Commencement Ceremony?

Hi I am an online student getting my masters through JHU. My last semester is summer 25 and I didn't know if there was a commencement ceremony for students in the fall or would I have to wait until spring 2026 to walk?

I graduated from GT in 2020 so I couldn't walk which is why I care about the ceremony and celebration

Lighting of Quads Q

This will actually be my first time at campus, I’m online EP student but will be near Baltimore for other reasons tomorrow.

Do I need anything other than my RSVP to enter? Can I bring my spouse?

Bonus points if anyone knows if the ice rink will be around this year, I saw it mentioned in prior ones but not this event posting.

Tia!

Opinions on JHU’s MS in Business Analytics & AI? Any other similar courses in other Universities?

Hi all, I’m exploring options for a Master’s degree in Business Analytics or an MBA that includes courses related to Artificial Intelligence. I’m based in Fairfax, Northern Virginia, and currently considering the Master’s in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence program at Johns Hopkins University’s Carey Business School.

https://carey.jhu.edu/programs/master-science-programs/ms-business-analytics-artificial-intelligence

The tuition fee is $89K, which feels quite steep, especially for a one-year program that’s not an MBA.

  1. During a recent discussion, the admissions manager mentioned that merit-based scholarships are available, covering up to 50% of the fees. Does anyone know if these scholarships are commonly awarded, or are they only given to a select few?
  2. If you’ve pursued this course or have insights about it, I’d really appreciate your feedback. From what I’ve read, this program seems to have evolved from the Master’s in Business Analytics and Risk Management, with many courses still focused on risk analysis. How strong is the program’s focus on Artificial Intelligence? Are there sufficient faculty and courses dedicated to AI?
  3. Lastly, does the curriculum very theoretical, or are there some hands-on projects where we can implement some AI in some capacity?
  4. Are there other courses in other Universities (in the DMV area or even in other states) which are similar to this course that you would suggest? Not looking for Masters in CS with specialization in AI. Looking for a course very similar to the above - MBA-ish course with some technical aspects and business aspects of AI.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance!

Advice needed : Financial assistance and less time in between.

I recently received an admit for an MS in Material Science and Engineering for Spring 2025. I’ve requested a tuition waiver, and the engineering department mentioned they would discuss it next week with the concerned person. This is one of my dream school but I am very confused right now. As an international student, I have the visa process to complete, and with classes starting in the last week of January, I’m concerned about the timing. Should I wait and hope for the waiver decision ? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Honors Lin Alg w/ Professor Sire

Has anyone taken a class with Yannick Sire? I don't think he's taught Honors Linear Algebra before, but I can't find much about him and I'm planning on taking Honors Linear Algebra next semester. I'm curious what I should expect, if anyone does have experience with him.

Sociology of Health and Illness vs. ISBDH?

To public health upperclassman, I was wondering what the difference between the courses of sociology of health and illness and introduction to social and behavioral determinants of health.

Wich one of the classes would you say is easier, or more interesting?

What topics do they cover, they sound pretty similar so I wanted to know if there were any big differences.

Would you recommend one over the other? Does one of them have a professor that people really like?

Course syllabus

Does anyone have access to the course syllabi for the following courses?

Machine Learning for Signal Processing (EN.520.412/612)

Medical image analysis (EN.520.623)

Deep Learning (EN 520.638)

Neural Implants and Interfaces (EN 580.742)

I am a past student trying to transfer my course credits. I have tried reaching out to the professors for the syllabi, but haven't gotten a response yet. And the school had transitioned from blackboard to canvas, so I cannot access my old records.

Any idea how I can find an old copy of a syllabi or a new one (cause I'm all out of options) for these courses? To save myself time and thousands of dollars!!

Optimization 1 Notes Please Help

I've taken all of my notes for this class using Goodnotes on my iPad, but when I went to study today for the exam in 2 days, they were gone! I've tried contacting Goodnotes support, but they just said that they'll "get back to me." I've tried checking in my icloud, but they aren't there either :*(. Does ANYONE have notes from opti 1 that I could borrow? I'm so stressed out from this

Looking for housing. Wondering which roads around campus are nice, and which to avoid.

I'm currently an admitted student set to begin my master's at JHU in the spring. I'm looking to move sometime around Easter so I can skip the cold weather (I'm a full blooded Floridian). I was wondering which roads around campus are safe and have cool cafes or amenities within a mile via walking. Are there communities that I should flat out avoid due to pest or crime issues? I read up on an r/jhu post from around 4 months ago but didn't quite find the answers I was looking for.

Ideally, I'll find a single bedroom apartment or studio within 20-30 minutes walking to the Homewood campus - closer is always better. I can't afford much past $1600/mo in rent - utilities are already budgeted assuming I'm not forced into variable unit prices for water/sewage and electricity. Moreover, I don't want to live someplace with serious pest issues (rats and such, I can deal with a roach from time to time). I feel like most of these criteria can be met using common sense, but please share housing experiences if you feel inclined to do so.

I've been looking for spaces using the campus affiliated housing site and found apartments that I love, but I have no context. I like apartments on streets like Calvert St, St. Paul St, Howard St, and Fox St to name a few. I can use street view and explore, but I don't exactly get a sense of the vibes. That being said, I'm not completely against finding roommates but I'd prefer having my own space.

Any help would be appreciated.

Any good studio options?

Hey guys I am looking for an apartment in January 2025 near the homewood campus walking distance or at least near the transit. My budget would be near $800 - $900 not more than that (maybe little more would be fine don't know?) But please let me know.
