Hi everyone!

My name is Lauren, and I'm from the lovely state of New Jersey. More specifically, I'm from Summit, a suburb just west of New York City. I graduated from a small all-girls school, with no idea what I wanted to study at college. Obviously, I ended up at Hopkins, where I'm now a sophomore studying Public Health. I'm concentrating in the social sciences track of Public Health, and hopefully minoring in English and Economics. I had a brief stint as a pre-med (too much Grey's Anatomy) but I'm much happier now that I've settled into my major. I love the opportunities that PH at Hopkins offers in terms of research, study abroad, and study at the Bloomberg School of Public Health.

I've really bounced around in terms of intended major while I've been here, so my classes have spanned a pretty broad range of what you can possibly do at Hopkins. I've taken Chem & Bio, and their respective labs, IFP I-II (Introduction to Fiction and Poetry), History of Occidental Civilization, Calculus, American Bibles, Environment and Your Health, Microeconomics, The Harlem Renaissance, Economics of Health, English Literary Culture After 1945, Global Public Health Since WWII, and The Chinese Cultural Revolution. Hopefully I didn't leave anything out!

At Hopkins I spend a lot of time in Admissions--I work in the office of one of the counselors, as well as in Hopkins Hosting society and on the Student Admissions Advisory Board. I'm in a sorority, and I spend time as a Student Ambassador and tutoring in a Baltimore high school as well.

Please post any questions you have about Hopkins!
