Comes close to the lower Ivies, but can’t match them
Hopkins 49 Cornell 51

But as OP would probably admit, since JHU is ranked well above those schools, they aren’t the peers…right?[/quote]

They aren’t going to beat out the Ivies, Stanford and MIT.  Who does?

Well we already basically beat out Cornell, so all the Ivies can't be lumped together. And Duke beats out a ton of Ivies for cross-admits, so why can't we? We're ranked higher and we have better prestige than Duke.[/quote]

I have no horse in this race but I'm sorry, Johns Hopkins does not have better prestige than Duke for undergrad studies. Med school is a different story, and Johns Hopkins is up there with Harvard for med school prestige.[/quote]

USNWR would care to differ.  And I have two Duke grads in my immediate family.[/quote]

USNWR is not equal to prestige.[/quote]

Yes it does.  It has no peer amongst published rankings.[/quote]

No one takes it literally. It's a nice resource to help find schools to apply to though.[/quote]

Plenty of people swallow it hook line and sinker.[/quote]
