D was accepted to JHU, which I recognize had a fabulous reputation in science and engineering. However, I am seeking opinions about humanities or social sciences at Hopkins and things seem kind of sparse. Can anyone make any comments about these areas? Even the fact that no credit is given for AP classes in (almost) any of the humanities/social science areas seems to suggest that students in these areas are second-class citizens.

D is trying to decide where to go. She will be re-visiting JHU soon, but I’m concerned that she will be one of a tiny, undervalued minority as a humanities major. Anyone know of any happy JHU English majors out there? And as an aside, any idea why no AP credit in humanities or history is given?
