USNWR top 30 National universities and top 20 Liberal Arts colleges + plus everybody else.

You're welcome 🙂

This! I would add Times/WSJ rankings too. Schools that make the top 30 on both rankings are the true top schools.

We just went through a pandemic where Hopkins was listed as the main research on everything so what does it matter if it’s under the umbrella of an Ivy?

Hopkins lacks the ultra high prestige of HYPSM. It lacks the intellectual edge and prestige of Chicago (and to a lesser extent - Columbia). It also lacks the undergrad focus of schools like Brown and Dartmouth. With this stated, I think it does very well overall in comparison to schools like Penn, Cornell, Duke and Northwestern.

It has two special strengths:
1. Medical School & School of Public Health
2. School of Advanced International Studies.

The Engineering school is also a bit of a "hidden gem" offering a terrific education and outstanding opportunities for students when they graduate.

I'll add one addendum. The Biomedical Engineering department consistently ranks in the top 3 programs in the nation and currently holds the #1 ranking (which it has had off-and on for well over 30 years).

Seriously, you may as well be asking if Clemson is in the SEC.

It doesn't matter to people who understand higher education in the U.S.; it matters to people who need sound bites and shorthand.

And yet so many people do not understand this, it seems.

Its an ivy equivalent but not in the same sports league so not an Ivy. Academically, it’s known to be more rigorous than all Ivies.

Truth.

JFC. This is the most pitiful thread.

Lots of great universities, and they can be measured by many different metrics to justify all of the rankings spouted on here.

Your kid just has to flourish at the place they land, elite or not. Great things can happen, even for bottom tier colleges and their students. I'm proof of that. And there are many people I know that fall in that pool.

Sounds about right if Columbia is moved to the second tier.

If you type the same thing on your browser ("Is John Hopkins an Ivy?"), you get the answer in the first line right away in bold face.

"Johns Hopkins is not an Ivy League school."

It's much easier than coming into this site and posting it here.
