I was an student turned employee and I can tell you Hopkins is a hot mess. All of my classmates from our grad program who stuck around to work there post-grad have since fled their roles to get paid a fair wage.

Getting into classes isn’t super hard and tbh the coursework is pretty easy if you’re not pursuing biostats tracks. It’ll just be slow-going if you’re hoping to only use the money they provide for classes.

If you’ve been in the workforce at all and aren’t coming straight from undergrad, you may find some of the student population to be a bit insufferable. As the #1 school of public health, it tends to attract a lot of incredibly wealthy students with little world experience or genuine empathy for the population that Hopkins serves. You’ll find plenty of great students to chat with, too, though!
