[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has gotten terribly off track. The OP asked why JHU has low name recognition/prestige. Issues of the undergraduate climate, the surrounding neighborhood, etc. are tangential. I dispute the premise of the thread that it has low prestige. Of course, my household has a total of three degrees from JHU.[/quote]

+1. I also dispute the premise of low prestige. I only have one (graduate) degree from Hopkins. I agree that marketing is a huge reason there may be misperceptions around branding. Their brand is so strong academically, it sells itself, and their admin just does not invest the same way other prestigious universities do in how they recruit. Also the culture there is different; its based in intelligence and genius everywhere, but there is a humility that permeates through a lot of the staff and the students. Hopkins is a name all of the world trusts right now for an accurate picture of coronavirus, and for good reason. They are a reputable, trustworthy, and rigorously academic school that has always prioritized credible research and progressive cultural support for the right reasons. They founded their business school because of the 08 financial crisis to create highly regarded MBAs that would conduct business with "humanity in mind".

They aren't flashy. Some of us like it that way.[/quote]
