Never thought of it as T10. Maybe a little above average more like Georgetown.

It’s been ranked between 7-9 for a long time now

That ranking is probably because of its medical school. It is top 40 by students' ranking. Nobody really wants to go to Hopkins.

Hopkins received over 37,000 apps last year, considerably more than Rice and Emory for example, two schools that dcum seems to love.

That's because of all the premeds applying simply because it has a good medical school. Doesn't make it objectively better.

your kid can try again for grad school

+1 JHU accepted 7% of applicants last year. Georgetown was 13%. GW accepted 43% of applicants.

Georgetown is a far tougher admit than ED to JHU.

We visited and honestly it looked to be a standard happy campus (kids were milling around, eating together) during the day. What crossed our mind was what happens in the evening. The outside of the campus felt uneasy at night. Also, if you venture off campus towards hampden etc, definitely not a walking comfort zone.

Hampden? That isn’t a high crime area and there are tons of people there at night because of all the restaurants/bars. I guess you avoid Dupoint Circle?

We had a AIRBNB in Hampden and walked to and fro from the Homewood campus. The rowhouses are not all the street with the restaurants. We felt uncomfortable walking in the evening. I would not allow my college kid to walk alone or even with another kid during the night.

No college kid should be walking alone at night in any city. Street smarts 101.

Depends on the city. I would let my college kid walk back at 9pm in NYC or in DC or even in Houston. In Baltimore-no.

+100 my kids walked around SF and San Jose much later than 9 pm when they were in high school.

Far tougher? yea right. JHU probably harder given the freshman stats. It already had top 5 test scores during test required.
