[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JH for STEM, Pomona for lib arts. 
JH is awesome for bio, chem, engineering, pre-med, physics, math, etc.

Pomona is pushed by the Big 3 for their middle students who like to write and will go to grad school to really pick a discipline or job tract. [/quote]

I'm a JHU engineering grad from about 25 years ago.  I also reviewed JHU again about 10 years ago when my nephew had this as one of his top 4 preferences.  He came and we talked about the school and we went for a campus visit (wow, has the campus changed a lot!), so I got to hear what the student tour guides were saying about the school then.

There's a lot of name cachet in the STEM fields for JHU.  While it has good LA programs, the environment is not a good environment in the LA unless you are definitely going to post-grad work for a graduate degree, law school or international studies/relationships.  Of my numerous friends from JHU over the years, those who got the most out of their Hopkins educations were in one of these:  STEM (like me), International Studies (I know several who went into politics or state department/embassy work), law school or graduate school.
