[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know of schools that are hard, just for the sake of being hard? My friend told me that her DD left Dickinson for that reason. Her DD was not learning and not being supported. The impression was that the school is trying to improve its reputation by being tough?? Heard the same about Rice many years ago. [/quote] I think Johns Hopkins has a reputation for behing very hard. A lot of state schools with loose admissions standards set by state law are very tough on freshmen. [/quote] JHU grad here (undergrad and grad). JHU is as hard as you make it. If you are pre med/science (want to go to MD and/or PhD) or if you want to do one of the combined undergrad and MA programs in 4 years, it’s a pressure cooker. The thing is, most enter thinking they will be one of those two. But if you want to major in something else, it’s actually probably similar to other schools with similar rankings. [/quote]
