I go to Hopkins, I’m not pre-med but I am an engineer and I would definitely say that Hopkins is not destructively cut throat. The fact is that if you are a Hopkins student, you are an intelligent and driven person, so you wish to do well in your courses, but that does not mean that you are extremely cut throat. For the majority of my classes, I was working/studying with other students. This is very common, in our library, the levels that are normally the most crowded are the first two, which are primarily group study.

Yes there are students that don’t go out of their way to help their fellow class-mates, but the majority of students will sit down and help someone that doesn’t understand something. I helped tutor a number of my friends for Calc I, II, III, and Linear Algebra, not because I was getting paid for it…but because they were struggling and needed someone to help them.

So don’t believe the cut throat rumours that are flying around about Hopkins…they aren’t true.
