[Anonymous]

Hopkins research budget is number 1 by double the second place University.

It's Johns Hopkins. #GoHop Amazing institution. The place to go if you want to get involved in research (not just STEM research, they have great humanities programs/research going on too!). Students love the flexibility and opportunities associated with being a student at Hopkins. Many of the high-caliber professors generally love teaching and mentoring too! Students there are driven asf. Hopkins is not an ivy, but it has had lower acceptance rates than some Ivies in the past few years.

Wrong.

Don't fall for the troll who can't even count to eight.

Outcomes and prestige-wise, JHU undergrad trails its peers by a pretty wide margin. Intense pre-med program but weak preprofessional development. The undergrad division is always considered an afterthought for the university that poured most of its resources into its medical school and the school of international relations (like UChicago but a lot less prestigious, besides the medical school). Besides Mayor Bloomberg, its undergrad alumni have almost zero name recognition. Rapidly rising in rankings but name recognition in the general public still takes time to catch up.

Isn't their biggest reputation boost the COVID-19 tracker? Besides the lacrosse team, I mean.

Hopkins is a decent school, but it's plagued by a very stressful campus culture, and is frankly really only a good place for pre-med/biomed (but, again, incredibly stressful). Although an elite private school it consistently ranks as one of the least desirable.

Applied physics lab. Eg, Hubble contract and many similar ones.

Are you not into STEM schools like MIT?

And Hopkins is the number one research institution because of APL, not the University.

The Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel. Defense contractor.

LOL why don’t you B’More realistic and stop trying to hype your BA from JHU.

A nonprofit defense contractor associated with Hopkins. That is where the big research $ are going. APL used to be directly linked to Hopkins, but there is now a firewall due to security.

This is woefully misinformed and deeply wishful thinking from a Johns Hopkins booster.

It's a good school. It's not at the level of HYPSM. (Yes, you missed out on MIT)

I see we have some Hopkins rejects on this thread.

I keep up with the forum to help out parents and get a good chuckle sometimes. It's similar to parents lurking on the A2C Reddit.
