How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, read over AMCAS application, read over JHMS application, and read up on bioethics and current events.

What impressed you positively?

All the people I met very genuinely kind, caring, and down-to-earth.

What impressed you negatively?

There are some very poor neighborhoods near the Hopkins medical campus, and car break-ins/theft seem to be a problem in the area.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Take advantage of the hosting program, it is a great opportunity to learn about the school and mentally prepare yourself for the interview in a relaxed setting. Students who stayed with hosts off-campus seemed to have gotten more out of the experience than students who stayed at Reed Hall.

What are your general comments?

I stayed with a student in Charles Village, and I found out a lot of useful info about the school from her. Also, since I was staying at such a close proximity to the school, I had a lot of time to get ready and go to my interview. Overall, I had a great experience at JHMS. The students seemed genuinely nice, the facilities were impressive, and while people at Hopkins seemed to have a lot of Hopkins pride, they didn't have the arrogance many times found in peer institutions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
