Google Day #1

Goals for the day: 

          1. Investigate the academic requisites to enter Johns Hopkins University. 
          2. List the other colleges and universities I would like to apply/go to. 
          3. What pre-med majors are offered at JHU. 


1. Investigate the academic requisites to enter Johns Hopkins University: 

https://connection.naviance.com/family-connection/colleges/college/view/?smscid=2400120: This link takes me directly to the Naviance page with the information about Johns Hopkins University. This page tells me about the GPA, SAT scores, student life, and other information that is really helpful for me.Also, this website can help me access other information within the website of the actual university. This information helps me because I'll know in what classes I should be putting the best of myself in and also what SAT score and GPA I should be striving for. Here are some charts that give me all of this helpful information:

http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/: This is the website of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. This website is really helpful because it offers information about the admission process (when, how to do it), it also offers information about the different undergraduate and graduate programs.
