You literally need to learn to read. It says in your screenshot they were #10 and #7 in 2 years. Zero chance you graduated from Hopkins, likely a reject. |
Responding to someone that said they were always top 10. I graduated in 1994. It was a fluke when we cracked the top 10. JHU is only 19% white now. Their DEI initiatives caused the drive up the charts in undergrad rankings. |
From only twice in 1983-2007. That’s not “always top 10”- not even close. |
The very tippy top college is MIT.
Everyone else - Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton - has diluted their brand with questionable admissions decisions over the past 15 years. From legacy to sports to wealth to an emphasis on diversity. It’s not the best and brightest going to Harvard and Stanford these days. So really talented students are going elsewhere these days - the T10 to T20 range and honors programs at state colleges. Eventually the prestige thing will catch up. |
2007 is 17 years ago, 1983 is dinosaur years. In terms of relevant years, yes, it is always top 10. |
Which of the ranking criteria below are DEI initiatives? I'll wait. You have some bizarre agenda.

The quote you responded to was "And Hopkins has regularly been T10" They never said "Always top 10" - that's something you misinterpreted. And yes, it has been regularly top 10 for the past decade plus. |
The highest proportion demographic at JHU is asian. They're just accepting the best applicants that pass by the admissions office, do better. |
Yes when it went super woke and stopped letting white people in. They are 19% only. Bonus points in rankings !!! People fail to see how it was only ranking criteria that changed. If anything, the school had become much less academic/rigorous undergrad. |
^ and test optional |
Princetons inclusion is strange. They’re the forefront college who’ve actually tried to combat gpa inflation and have made efforts for college to be more affordable for middle class families. They’re at the top of the chain and gave the lowest transfer acceptance rate for a reason- they have put the work in to make the best, rigorous undergrad experience and haven’t compensated outside of legacy admissions. |
Princeton interviewer told my son it is their goal to have free tuition in 10 years. |
although I'll admit if I paid $360k a few years before this went into effect it would kill me. Lol Something needs to be done about the cost of higher education. The Ivies are the best at helping with needs-based aid. |
Are they elitist, 100%, but damn they have really pushed American colleges to improve their aid and transfer processes throughout the years. |
wtf are you talking about? you’re sounding like biden in the debate tonight |
