Emory has poor stem however. Only similarity is urban setting. Might be more similar to Vandy than JHU.


Emory is strong in stem. Engineering is weaker. But stem is far more than engineering.

How good is emory in physics, chemistry, biology?

ED2 to a school that is a notch down (Vandy is not a notch down from JHU; ignore US News rankings). Too many students make the mistake of not going down ED2….should not be the plan.



delusional. hopkins has far better programs than vandy. especially stem

You sound like an international student, a striver, or both. For undergrad, Vandy is a tougher admit for domestic students: high stats are not enough.


you’re pulling stuff out of thin air. Vandy is easier based on naviance and overall stats. only 51% submit scores at vandy and scores are lower than hopkins. meanwhile they accepted 15% of their entering class from waitlist while hopkins accepted 2%.

Not the Naviance that I have; it’s the opposite. Vandy is looking for — and gets — a particular type of student. Hopkins looks for -and does not get - a particular type of student, and ends up with only one type, precisely the type they are trying to get away from.


What is the type jhu trying to get away from?

A one-dimensional bio-STEM school. Yeah, I know they have some other good programs, such as philosophy. But their efforts are not working, precisely because the Vandy and like schools are seen by non-STEM students as more desirable. It is a vicious cycle…

Learn what humanities are — or did you go to JHU? Maybe that’s the problem.

Peabody is a separate campus. Not including Peabody, it is 3% humanities, which is downright embarrassing. Thanks for inadvertently proving my point!

I think the sadder part is Vandy desperately wants to be good at stem but just isn't. Meanwhile JHU is better at humanities.

Here is vandy: https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=vanderbilt&s=all&id=221999#programs

What exactly is impressive about the humanities distribution here? If we look at english, history, philo, creative writing, it is ~3%.

Hopkins alum and agree, engineering is also strong. And these majors have been strong for three decades. International relations is particular accounts for a sizable portion of the class. I’d add Econ to this list as well.

Is Vandy good at any particular humanities major?

Yes, add Econ as another humanities major, alum.

If he is interested in anything STEM or government then ED1 at JHU.

JHU is known internationally as a prestigious school if that matters for future career.
