[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 8 most important schools for the United States are Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Annapolis, West Point, Hopkins and Stanford.  Hopkins is the number one research institution by a wide margin.[/quote]

This is woefully misinformed and deeply wishful thinking from a Johns Hopkins booster.

It's a good school. It's not at the level of HYPSM. (Yes, you missed out on MIT)[/quote]

Probably on the same tier as Northwestern and Brown/Cornell. Below Columbia/Penn/Duke and UChicago/Dartmouth. But preference-wise probably ranks dead last among top elite privates. [/quote]

I'd still put Hopkins a half tier below Northwestern as well as Brown/Cornell/Dartmouth (not sure why you put Dartmouth at the same level as UChicago... lol). A good school with an excellent school, but it's similar to UChicago and UC Berkeley in that it's primarily a grad-focused research institution, less a comprehensive undergrad-focused university of the likes which comprise the top elites.[/quote]
