Hey I’m wanting to take ip next semester and have heard it’s the hardest course of all CS requirements, I was wondering if there’s any tips to survive this class or just any profs to avoid? I believe only Simari and Darvish will be teaching next semester, any recommendations on whose section to take?

Grading?

yup same as the title.

How popular is physics and applied math/statistics at JHU? And do they place well when it comes to industry? I want to pursue engineering/quant, but I am not entirely sure on my career choice yet.

Hey, I was wondering in the section of "Personal or family savings bank name" for the COF form available in the application portal, what are we supposed to fill? As in the name of the person who owns the bank account or what? Thanks in advance!

I submitted my application in the last week of August. Still no replies from them. I had emailed but their reply to me was to wait and they are in the process. I don't know whether to wait or proceed with what i have right now as its already November.

Hello. I am applying to the Bloomberg Fellowship for the 2025-26 academic year. I would prefer to do the in-person, 11-month track. I realize I would have to take a leave of absence from my job, and although the fellowship would cover all school expenses (tuition, waivers, etc.) it would not cover cost of living. Are there other scholarships I could apply for in tandem with this opportunity, or do I need to take out a loan to be able to get this "free" masters?

Has anyone ever taken or know anyone who has taken these online degree programs? Im interested in pursuing the MSE Masters degree but I want to know if its useful and not just a money grab.

My employer is only willing to pay $5500 per year so Im not getting much tuition help, but the flexibility of the program would be great for me. I also didnt see many universities offering an online MSE degree. Would this degree move my career forward?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The college where I am pursuing my bachelor's has set up an MoU with JHU, giving us opportunity to apply for the MS there at reduced fees. Is it worth it? Looking at the reddit threads it seems JHU Carey is popular for MBA programs.

Hihi, does anyone know how much is the monthly health insurance for visiting scholars? I found the page for visiting students, but I couldn't find anything for visiting scholars. Could you please help me out?

Hi everyone!

I just received an admit to the MSE program in Electrical and Computer Engineering for Spring 2025 at Johns Hopkins. I’d love to connect with others joining this spring!

Hi! I'm a master's student (female) starting at the Homewood campus this spring semester. I'm looking for potential roommates (preferably female) since I don't know many people there yet. I think it would be both more economical and fun to share a place. If you're interested, feel free to reach out!

Just wondering if there are any recommendations for relatively simple electives in MSF? TIA!

I’ll be staying at madison avenue on bloom st and wanted to know the safest way to get to John’s Hopkins Hospital. I’m a female traveling alone and it’s my first time in the US and from what i’ve heard i’m not staying at the safest place 🥹. What would be the fastest and safest route for me to take and can i integrate the JHMI shuttles anywhere in my route?

does anyone know any easy reintro to writing classes or easy professors for reintro to writing? struggling to find one

Hello everyone.

What is the acceptance rate of Johns Hopkins for the Masters of Arts in Public Health Biology? Also, How was your experience in this program?

I did read on the internet that the acceptance rate is above 50%, unless my sources are wrong.

Also, If I have taken Biochemistry outside of JHU before getting into the program, would the course be covered or would I need to retake it there?

As the title says. (4) Junior guys looking for a 5th roommate for next year. We are going for a 3-story rowhome on either Guilford Ave or Charles Street. Rent will be around $800/month. Walking distance to campus, street parking, single bedrooms. DM if interested.

Hello everyone,

I am British and have been accepted to study Economics at JHU.

What is it like studying here?

How supportive are lecturers and staff?

Are there big numbers of British students?

I am trying to choose a reintro to writing class for spring semester.

Would appreciate any recommendations -- the title of the class.

I am kind of new to chemistry so I need a professor who is good at explaining and possibly have a lot of backtests and resources relevant so I could perform better in class. Does anyone have any recs?

Thank you!

Has anybody heard back for their application yet? If so, what was your background and what do you think led to your acceptance/rejection?

I applied ED 1 for Hopkins and I submitted a 34 ACT (34/34/35/34). With the October test, I couldn’t make it to a 35. A 34 is the 25th percentile for Hopkins so will it be beneficial to my application? My GPA is not the best, as I have like a 3.8 UW. But it’s a strong upward trend from freshman year and I did take high rigor compared to those in my school. Let me know your thoughts - thanks!

I totally missed the memo about needing to meet with our academic advisor, and I won't be able to meet with him until after registration. If anyone is able and willing to trade slots, I would heavily appreciate it. I'm also willing to pay 20 dollars LOL

AMS major here currently building my schedule for next semester - wondering if anyone has taken any of the following and has recommendations:
