Hopkins lacks the ultra high prestige of HYPSM. It lacks the intellectual edge and prestige of Chicago (and to a lesser extent - Columbia). It also lacks the undergrad focus of schools like Brown and Dartmouth. With this stated, I think it does very well overall in comparison to schools like Penn, Cornell, Duke and Northwestern.

It has two special strengths: 
1. Medical School & School of Public Health 
2. School of Advanced International Studies.

The Engineering school is also a bit of a "hidden gem" offering a terrific education and outstanding opportunities for students when they graduate.[/quote]

Hopkins SPH gets a lot of grants, that it true, but the teaching is very much lacking (and I have heard professors state that from the podium).

They care about $$ and status, over all else (which is not a good look for a school of public health).

Note also, that USNWR rankings in this field are based upon votes from people in the field. JHSPH has the most alumni so...ergo....yeah, that is how that works. [/quote]
