Choosing programs at Johns Hopkins

Graduate School
1

<p>So is there really no limit on how many programs within the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine you can apply to? Many of them are similar and 4 of them look good to me - Biochemistry, Chemical Biology, Pharmacology, Cell and Molecular Medicine. Would it be wise to apply to all 4 or is it better to narrow it down? </p>

<p>And all of these programs apparently expect you to have taken inorganic chemistry. I haven’t, my major didn’t require it. I have a lot of organic chemistry and biophysical chemistry though. Probably won’t matter right?</p>

<p>If anyone applied to JHU or is currently applying, please let me know what you think!</p>

<p>If they require inorganic chemistry, why aren’t you taking it? It is easy enough to take at a local CC.</p>

<p>well johns Hopkins is the only school out of the 10 I’m applying to that mentions it. It’s a bit late I’m applying this year.</p>

<p>In that case, I think you should just apply. If they want you to take the class, they can always ask you to take it at some point before classes start (e.g. over the summer). I think it is very difficult to be the perfect applicant for any, much less all, the programs you’re interested in. I definitely had “holes” in my application. If I had not managed to get accepted anyway, I know exactly what I’d have been working on this year to get ready for a second round of applications. Sometimes taking a chance pays off!</p>
