[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USNWR is trash.  Go with the global rankings that aren't so US specific:

Both have JHU &gt; NW, Duke, Dartmouth, and Brown. [/quote]

No one was even referencing rankings. So then by this measure you’d say Cornell and Michigan are better schools than JHU? Got it.[/quote]

Except THE has JHU above Cornell, Michigan and Columbia.

Not that straight forward.

Got it?[/quote]

It's all about methodology.

60% of the ratings from that survey are on research and research results.

JHU, with possibly the greatest medical school in the world, obviously does well there, as it should. However, this has nearly zero reflection on the value of undergraduate experiences there.

However I am among those who think micro-ratings are ridiculous.  A top student can be better off at JHU than Yale, or at Michigan than Columbia, etc etc.[/quote]
