Nobody talks about Johns Hopkins here

[Anonymous]

Wow. This thread has really deteriorated. The pro-Hopkins trolls have emerged from the mean streets of Baltimore.

I don’t think either are controversial, since neither of these ED1 and ED2 schools are top 10 schools. (Yes, I know Chicago also has ED0, EA, and ED3 - don’t want to sell it short.)

ED3? Please. No matter what, you rankings-obsessed parents manage to bring up Chicago. It's actually laughable. And the entire time, its just the same old tired argument that ED rounds negates an entire school's academic merit. You see institutions solely through the lens of their admissions. Chicago & Hopkins are T10 schools. Argue with the wall, Towson alumna.

Not top 10. Because it isn't better than Ivies, Duke, MIT or Cal Tech. So that is already 11. I could argue with you about a few others as well but those are non-negotiable. I would personally choose Vandy or Northwestern over Hopkins but those two are definitely subject to debate and I wouldn't die on that hill.

You're a troll. Give it a rest. While I didn't go there, I had multiple ivy + hopkins as a choice and have chosen hopkins over lower ivies for stem easily. Especially for engineering and physics which is shit at Dartmouth and Brown.

Saying the school is top 15 and not top 10 does not make me a troll. That is far from an insult. And many of us don't see a school solely through the lens of STEM. This obsession with STEM and only STEM is part of the problem a lot of people have with Hopkins. If I'm that obsessed with those areas and want to be surrounded with people like that, I would go to MIT or Cal Tech. No brainer.

I don't want to go to school with all kids who are just STEM types. No thanks. That applies to both STEM kids and non-STEM kids.

People who didn't go to top colleges don't get this. There is more to the experience than the school that has the best science resources. I know it is a huge financial investment but your kids deserve better.

I don't want a doctor who is some STEM obsessed robot. The best doctors who treat me and my family went to Columbia, Duke, Middlebury, Williams and Princeton for undergrad.

If you care about where your doctor went for undergrad, you need to be blacklisted from DCUM and go outside.

Good thing you can't turn back time to your peak high school days 45 years ago. And choosing Vandy or Northwestern over Hopkins just tells us that you're unacademic.

Typical STEM Hopkins alum. Really bad at reading comprehension and critical reasoning. You can go to med school and go into a specialty like radiology where you don't have to interact with people. I'm sure you will love running around showing off that you are a doctor. Woohoo.

It's ok. You can have your grandkids try again.

It's a national security asset like MIT or Annapolis

Not a dcum concern

They have better things to do. Otherwise you'd see Hopkins threads popping up left and right like the LAC and anti Chicago losers.

One person without a life seems to be posting nasty remarks over and over. Please make it stop. They are embarrassing Hopkins, not defending it.

I agree that it has deteriorated, but most people supporting Hopkins are arguing against this 1 troll who is making general blanket statements about Hopkins grads and baselessly attacking it as an elite institution.

So if USNWR drops Chicago to the #12 spot, will the Chicago-haters move on? Is this the entire issue that people are so upset about, that a school with multiple ED options made the top 10, probably for a year? Wow.

You think it’s that high? I don’t. JHU isn’t top 10 and JHU is definitely a tougher admit than Chicago ED.

You sound like you went to a shitter lower ranked school with insecurity. There there.

Did the school have insecurity or did I bring it with me? Can’t you take a writing class or something?

There's embarassing and then there is whatever that is. LAC trolls hidden in plain site.

Please stop. I don’t think you are saying what you think you are saying. Ladies and gentlemen, a STEM student!

I'm OP, can we recenter this thread onto why Hopkins might be overlooked? My kid wants to ED, I think its a great school for them, & I want informed opinions.

I've heard this before and believe it is a thing. Its location is a major deterrent as Baltimore carries a negative branding for many, even though the surrounding area is nice. The concern I hear from my own kid is its lack of a cohesive campus and too close to home for comfort.

Major? ED1? Male or female?
