Johns Hopkins University Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at Johns Hopkins University?

Samita

Nerdy and pre-med, but I really don't think that's a true fit.

Kate

A stereotype at Hopkins is that we are all cutthroat people that will do anything to succeed. Yes, we are dedicated and driven students. I have NEVER encountered anyone who tried to make me fail so that they could do better. In fact, I have done a lot of work in groups where people definitely try to help others understand the material.
