[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is fortunate to be in the position of considering Hopkins for the BME major.  DC has heard mixed reviews about the program - some say it is extremely cut-throat and competitive while others say that it's collaborative because of the difficulty and the high likelihood of post-grad employment.  It is hard to cut through the noise.  Do any parents have recent experience with a child who is majoring in BME at Hopkins?  Do you wish your child had chosen a different path?[/quote]
JHU's average GPA is 3.5 in 2017.  Their current average GPA is &gt; 3.8.  People tell you different things depending on which year they attended JHU.

I wouldn't worry much about the cut-throat.[/quote]

NP. The above poster sounds encouraging, but then another poster said:

[quote=Anonymous]
I heard from a parent of JHU freshman that it’s brutal. I think they were BME, but switched majors already and still struggling. The average class gpa is 3.4 and the kid despite going to all office hours, using all available tutoring, studying 12/day still can barely get a B in the hardest classes. The grade deflation is real.

So which is which? I asked because, like OP, I'm worried about my DD who plans to do neuroscience/pre-med at Hopkins.
