After college, many graduates struggle to find the right career path. After pursuing different avenues, they may discover that they want to do something for which they did not take the appropiate courses in college. Facing a tough job market, many decide to apply to medical school. But for those who have yet to take their pre-med requirements like Organic Chemistry, more and more universities, including Johns Hopkins, are offering Post-bacalaureate programs. Between one and two years in length, these programs allow college graduates to fulfill all pre-med courses they did not take in college, before they apply to medical school.
Being new to Baltimore last year, I was puzzled at how anyone can think this is "the greatest city in America." I didn't even think it was a major American city, let alone the greatest; it doesn't quite compare to Los Angeles or New York City. Sure, Baltimore can boast about its crab and harbor, but what else is special about this town? Believe it or not, Baltimore served as home to a number of very influential and famous people. Most Hopkins students know about Francis Scott Key and Babe Ruth, two of the mostobvious Baltimore natives. However, do they know that the notorious John Wilkes Booth was also from Baltimore, as was Tupac Shakur? Read on to learn more about these and other celebrities of Baltimore.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Michael Bloomberg, Hopkins' wealthiest alumnus, has been running New York City since January of this year. Rudy Giuliani, the previous mayor of NYC and Time's 2001 Person of the Year, left Bloomberg big shoes to fill and the copius task of restoring normalcy to the city with the $5 billion deficit. It's mind-boggling that a Hopkins undergrad alumnus has become so influential; just imagine your pot-smoking, frat-boy roommate one day becoming the billionaire mayor of a major American metropolis! Not to ignore, however, is the fact that Bloomberg has had other considerable experiences after Hopkins that helped him gain the mayoral office; so perhaps his Hopkins' electrical engineering education hasn't been so crucial to his success.
