[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look. Hopkins doesn't give a shit about undergrads.  Hopkins is bar none a top 5 RESEARCH institution. It leads in number of publications and patents and blows many ivies out of the water in that respect.

Hopkins isn't your typical university.  It focuses mostly at the major league levels while other universities cater towards the minor leagues.  Hopkins also defends this nation.  The second most devastating weapon in all of WWII next to the atom bomb was the proximity fuze. It was advanced by Hopkins. Go read up on the insane history of the proximity fuze and how it basically won the war for the allies in WWII.

Again, lots of apples to oranges here.  Hopkins produces a shit ton of research and patents. Wayyyyyyy more than many ivies and other top institutions.  It is focused more at the much higher end of education than the undergrad level, which is why its 'ranking' is lower. But if you look at actual value added to the human body of knowledge in terms of actual original research and patents, hopkins is top 3-5. Easily.[/quote]

So you admit that JHU is bad for undergrads? No wonder the alumni outcome is terrible and gets blown out of the water by the ivies and many of its peer schools. You also sound like a disgruntled and highly insecure college student. Go home and do your homework. [/quote]
