Primarily ranking, opportunities, major, discipline, professors, had a medical school. JHU has an extremely high # of students who get into medical school also. It also was one of the few schools that I got accepted into.
Course Curriculum
I would appreciate it if it didn't change so much. The course curriculum is also definitely extremely challenging and some classes aren't unnecessary. However, I never know what I need and I feel like I'm taking too many things at once.
Exams
In ACT I got 36, In SAT: Math 800, Bio - 780, other than that, I didn't take any other exams. I took the SAT once, with approx 2170 out of 2400.
Fees
I'm not completely sure, but scholarships are not that generous and I'm paying approx $70,000 for my tuition right now even though we are upper middle class.
Examination Structure
There are only a few exams, and they're worth a lot. Grading is extremely harsh and everybody works so hard, and the curve is not beneficial to students who study hard.
Faculty
They're extremely smart, but they're not always the best at teaching. They also fly through material so quickly that sometimes it's hard to comprehend.
