@cptofthehouse Case in point: did you graduate from JHU recently? did you go to brown or rice? Did you know Rice has a similar amount of premeds? I’d throw caution to the wind when making such comparatively broad statements. I think we’ve established on this thread and many many others through first hand info that Hopkins is more enjoyable than you think and not cut throat. This is especially considering the average GPA is inflated at a 3.6 at Hopkins. Those that are successful applying to med schools at Hopkins have a 3.5 average GPA for reference.
