Hacking your course registration

(08/19/24 7:27pm)

I remember the summer before college when I was still scoping out my future through "A College Day in My Life" videos. I followed a YouTuber’s advice to make a four-year course schedule ahead of time. I spent hours researching classes, making a (seemingly) seamless schedule and imagining my life was all set — which now seems like a bit of a pipe dream. I've been humbled by the difficulty of some classes and the evolution of my interests — I’ve changed majors three times!

The do's and do not's of classes at Hopkins

(08/19/24 7:40pm)

Signing up for classes in college is equal parts thrilling and stressful. On the one hand, this may be your first opportunity to take a class where the title is more than one word (see: AS.040.416.

Death and the Meaning of Life). However, with hundreds of options from departments you probably never knew existed (what is Medicine, Science and the Humanities, really?), it can be hard to sift through the muck.

You got this! A pre-med guide for incoming blue jays

(08/19/24 7:20pm)

Hello incoming Blue Jays. My name is Joseph Rainbolt, and I recently finished my freshman year as a pre-med student here at Hopkins. I endured my fair share of failures in my first year. Hopkins was new and Hopkins was hard, but looking back, I emerged from my freshman year with a lot of success, and there’s no doubt that with some perseverance you will, too. This article is my very best attempt to transfer everything I learned to you so that you can learn from my mistakes and get off to a great start on your pre-med journey.
