[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JHU and Emory are both great at what they do (public health, medical) and have a similar social vibe. Both are also in close proximity to other selective universities. The only difference I can see is that Emory is in a nicer location and has better weather and that JHU is a harder admit. [/quote]

JHU has medical school, school of public health, school for international relations, and graduate writing program all ranked in T5.  Hopkins has a school of engineering, Emory does not.  Hopkins has T20 D1 men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.  Hopkins has a significantly  higher yield than Emory.  Cross admits prefer Hopkins by an incredibly rate of 78 percent to 22.[/quote]

Not debating your final conclusion but Emory has a great undergrad business program which is a huge plus for many people - the world isn't just STEM. Atlanta > Baltimore for many reasons (all the DCUM DMV people are going to fight me on this). Emory has a better social scene, which is very important to many kids - college is supposed to have some fun involved. Emory has a very good (though not spectacular) law school and JHU doesn't have a law school (I know we are discussing undergrad but you mentioned Hopkins grad writing program).

Interesting that last year Emory and Hopkins finished 1-2 in the Director's Cup. Given Hopkins lax, which probably isn't included in that and/or isn't weighted properly, I would probably flip the two and put Hopkins 1, but the point is that both are really good at sports for D3 - I didn't fully recognize that.[/quote]

Give it up, Emory loses cross admits 78 to 22 percent and has a pathetic yield.  [/quote]
