[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's like Chicago, but not controversial, so nothing to discuss.[/quote]
I don’t think either are controversial, since neither of these ED1 and ED2 schools are top 10 schools. (Yes, I know Chicago also has ED0, EA, and ED3 - don’t want to sell it short.)[/quote]

ED3? Please. No matter what, you rankings-obsessed parents manage to bring up Chicago. It's actually laughable. And the entire time, its just the same old tired argument that ED rounds negates an entire school's academic merit. You see institutions solely through the lens of their admissions. Chicago & Hopkins are T10 schools. Argue with the wall, Towson alumna.[/quote]

Not top 10. Because it isn't better than Ivies, Duke, MIT or Cal Tech. So that is already 11. I could argue with you about a few others as well but those are non-negotiable. I would personally choose Vandy or Northwestern over Hopkins but those two are definitely subject to debate and I wouldn't die on that hill.[/quote]

You're a troll.  Give it a rest.  While I didn't go there, I had multiple ivy + hopkins as a choice and have chosen hopkins over lower ivies for stem easily.  Especially for engineering and physics which is shit at Dartmouth and Brown.[/quote]

Saying the school is top 15 and not top 10 does not make me a troll. That is far from an insult. And many of us don't see a school solely through the lens of STEM. This obsession with STEM and only STEM is part of the problem a lot of people have with Hopkins. If I'm that obsessed with those areas and want to be surrounded with people like that, I would go to MIT or Cal Tech. No brainer.

I don't want to go to school with all kids who are just STEM types. No thanks. That applies to both STEM kids and non-STEM kids.

People who didn't go to top colleges don't get this. There is more to the experience than the school that has the best science resources. I know it is a huge financial investment but your kids deserve better.

I don't want a doctor who is some STEM obsessed robot. The best doctors who treat me and my family went to Columbia, Duke, Middlebury, Williams and Princeton for undergrad.[/quote]
