What impressed you positively?

The resources, faculty, and community feel of Hopkins. I sat in on a class taught by a leader in the field, which was pretty cool. While Baltimore has a notorious reputation, it's really not that bad. It's gentrifying and from Hopkins the Baltimore skyline is awesome at night.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What to do during the time when I woke up (~7am) and the interview ~11am.

What are your general comments?

Interviews with 4th year students, individually, are closed file. Interview with the Adcom faculty member are open file. While you're waiting to have your interview you're being evaluated by the 4th years (1-2) that wait in the room with you. Also, stay with a student host if at all possible. My student host helped me out with a tie when I realized that I hadn't brought one.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
