Can you talk more about your experience with chemistry and why you chose chemistry instead of chemical engineering

[@DanielKaganov]

Hi Ea Ten! Sure so I fell in love with chemistry in high school and although chemical engineering and chemistry are very interwoven, chemistry usually has to do with the more theoretical and conceptual like thinking while chemical engineering kind of takes established practices and makes them more efficient or large scale in terms of industry. I knew I either wanted to do a PhD or go into medicine and I didn’t feel it was necessary to have a chemical engineering degree to do either of those as I enjoyed pure chemistry more.

[@MatheusMarques-rv3gj]

Idk if you going to read this, but anyways. I'm at University of São Paulo - Brazil, currently at the "medical course". It's rated high in the QS Ranking, but not as high as JHU. I was wondering, how hard would it be, for me, as a brazilian, to get into JHU undergraduation program, or other American University. I mean, I am 18 at the time I'm writing this, and I'm also concerned about the age, is there a "limit". I'm really new to it, but I'd love if you (or anyone else that knows) could give me some more details about it. Also, that cam cut at 0:30 was really cool haha

[@DanielKaganov]

Thank you! So it’s really what you make of it lol. There’s a social scene for those looking for it but overall it is an academic institution and students work hard for the most part.

[@bobbilly2522]

Since you're a girl, you can get into to just about any frat. Frats are pretty shitty though, there are only 3 decent ones for fun parties. There are only about 5 weekends per semester that have really good parties, the other weekends are mostly dead. The trend is that freshman typically do a lot of frat partying, and as you get older, less people go to on-campus parties and just have hangouts with friends or go to the city because the party scene can get old quickly. Most people find the time to go out on weekends and go to PowerPlant on Thursday's which is also fun. There's definitely a "grind" mentality on campus, even people who are IS or Econ spend a lot of time studying. If you're pre-med, stem, or in Whiting, get prepared for one hell of a ride.

Also did you like your experience in the school like did you make friends, or was everyone very competitive and didn’t want to be friends?

Is it true that the environment at JHU is very cut-throad and competitive? I really want to go if I end up getting accepted, but if its super competitive and not collaborative I might end up going to UMich because its cheaper + I will probably get a higher GPA.

[@DanielKaganov]

Hey Peter so I never experienced any of the cut-throat myths associated with Hopkins. My chemistry major department was pretty small and we were a supportive and tight knit group. Nowadays college is extremely expensive and UMich is an amazing school so if it makes more financial sense for you then you wouldn’t be sacrificing anything just saving a few hundred thousand dollars lol.

[@seunoladipo7090]

i'll just mention that depending on what you study, UMich can be pretty competitive also - this is coming from someone that studied chemistry there. so I would just attend which school you're more passionate about

Hi Daniel, I just got accepted into the Robotics MSE program at Johns Hopkins University. I am concerned about the living conditions of JHU, such as the renting rate, living expense, especially the safety conditions. Since I heard that somewhere of Baltimore is not that safe. I appreciate a lot if you can share any information with me!

[@DanielKaganov]

Hi Xiaowei that is fantastic I’m happy you got in! So first if you live with a roommate and find a decent location rent can be as little as $600-700 a month to as high as $1300 if you are in a single by yourself. As for safety conditions with the “Hopkins Bubble” it is very safe since there is campus security within a 2 mile radius around the entire school and the area is nice anyways. Of course there are parts of Baltimore that are of less socioeconomic status and unfortunately there is more crime in that area however it is somewhat removed from where the Hopkins campus is located. Just have a head on your shoulders at night or when in the city and you’ll be fine haha.

But since the ED deadline was in 30 mins, my supplement essay wasn't up to the mark and was decent according to me. What do you think the chances of me getting in are?

[@DanielKaganov]

Hi Lacey! Thanks for watching. That is not the case at all! What happens usually is that of course the grad student is overseeing an entire research project because that is their PhD but an undergraduate student will most likely assist the graduate students with a component of their project which is exactly what I did in my chemistry research.
