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…

One third of jhu kids are humanities.

International Relations
History
Writing
Philosophy
All very top programs

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.

Is Vandy good at any particular humanities major?

no unless you count education

That being said, many of the students accepted at Vanderbilt are deferred from ED. So if that is the choice for ED1 be prepared for the possibility of having to choose ED2 vs waiting for RD results.

This....100%

Two things in common between two schools. Nice weather in the South. Great premed programs.

Johns Hopkins in the South? Nice weather in Baltimore?? Thanks for trolling and propping out the South when it doesn't even make sense.

I once visited a town in SC that was like Baltimore in every way. It was wild, but, yeah, Baltimore is the total opposite of southern hospitality.

Many here haven't visited jhu or baltimore most likely. There are nice and rough parts of baltimore. Visit harbor east when the jhu business school is and it is in a yuppie well to do area. Same with canton and federal hill. One side of campus is also next to roland park where there are multi million dollar houses and gilman school. The other is next to charles village which is very well maintained and small townesque in feel. Go further away from charles village and it can get rougher. Similar to Penn a lot of ways. In fact, likely safer than Penn.

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?

One of the best biology and Chemistry programs in the country. Its a premed school...
