[quote=Anonymous]Hopkins alum here -- as a school it's an awesome education.

It is massively let down by:

1. location. if Hopkins was in a bucolic new England setting, or west coast, or outdoorsy beautiful place, or top 6 city it would be much more lusted after...instead it is where it is...

2. culture and physical attractiveness of the student body.

it's stressful, it's tough, and it's not fun. and no this isn't a racial thing, compare the asian kids that go to ucla or stanford to jhu or any other strong west coast school vs jhu...there are no abg's for example at jhu.

3. career services/exit options -- jhu is not in hypsm nor the penn/duke/chicago/nw tier from what i've seen in my peer group.

in government for example, jhu graduates a lot of people who end up becoming great staff but rarely the principal.

for how top tier the education is, jhu is not as common as other t20's in the best banking/law/consulting shops.

So outside of medicine/health care, even though JHU has excellent educational programs, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
