[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 10 school. Close to DC and far enough away at the same time. Who so little interest?[/quote]

Never thought of it as T10. Maybe a little above average more like Georgetown.[/quote]

It’s been ranked between 7-9 for a long time now [/quote]

That ranking is probably because of its medical school. It is top 40 by students' ranking. Nobody really wants to go to Hopkins. [/quote]

Hopkins received over 37,000 apps last year, considerably more than Rice and Emory for example, two schools that dcum seems to love.[/quote]

That's for regular decisions, and the number is still relatively small in comparison to national universities. What is more telling is that its ED applicant pool is only roughly [b]2700[/b], smaller than some top SLACs. This shows you Hopkins is not a first choice for students. [/quote]

Class of 2029: 48,373 total applications ([b]6,824[/b] early, 41,549 regular decision).[/quote]

[u]Class of 2029[/u]

ED (ED 1 + ED 2): applicants 6,824    acceptance 793     acceptance rate 11.62%

RD: applicants 41,549      acceptance 1,732     acceptance rate 4.17%

ED+RD: applicants 48,373    acceptance 2,525    acceptance rate 5.22%       enrolled ~1,300     yield rate ~51.49%

Source: JHU Press Releases[/quote]
Don’t call anything a source without a cite so we can look at it, especially when it’s a press release. But even with these favorable numbers, JH admits 63% of its entire class in the ED rounds. That is a huge proportion for a supposed top 10 school. And, news flash: the more of the class you admit ED, the lower the admit rate. [/quote]
