[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Say an applicant indicates that want to major in something like art, at school like John Hopkins, that isn't known for it, will they think it's odd?  [/quote]

Hopkins has a cross-registration agreement with MICA (I think Brown and RISD have a similar deal).  I think they understand that people can be serious about art but still want a liberal arts college education rather than an art school degree. JHU also took over the Peabody Institute (a music conservatory) -- admissions are separate but the degree comes from Hopkins.  There's a relatively new film and media studies program as well.  Long story short, Hopkins is a university that sees the arts, including performing arts, as part of its mission. That said, it makes sense for interested applicants to look at course offerings, majors, and programs so that they know how to frame their application so that it's clear that they understand the resources the school has to offer them.

While JHU is famous for science, it has very strong humanities programs.  [/quote]
