[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's not peers with those schools? Hopkins is overranked because of federal funding for its medical research and Applied Physics Lab. While I'm sure the medical research has some carryover for undergrad students in biological sciences, it doesn't do much for anything outside of those subjects. The APL is based a 30 minutes drive off campus so it's not of much use to physics/engineering undergrad students. The Ivies are Ivies, and therefore recognized globally. Duke is well-recognized nationally in every industry due to it's breadth of competencies and also basketball. Hopkins is well recognized nationally but primarily as a pre-med school.[/quote] I mostly agree but Bloomberg's $1B donation changed the game for Hopkins. Even if they're not quite at the level of Yale, Duke, Columbia, and Penn at the very least the donation put them with Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, Chicago, and Northwestern.[/quote]
