[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s an intense environment that I wouldn’t want my kid to be in but if your kid thrives in that kind of environment…[/quote]
That intense environment is pervasive — nary a classroom is empty when class is not in session. Just room after room of grinders, grinding. DC took it off the list.[/quote]

This comes up very often as a negative for certain elite schools. I'm not sure what the arguments is unless it's for an easy A. I want my scientists, doctors, and engineers to have actually worked hard in a competitive environment and risen to the top.[/quote]

Agree. Nothing wrong with hard work and hours of studying per week. I went to an ivy and was like that back in 96-2000. Spouse JHU. Same. [/quote]
Yes, if you went to an Ivy, it is true that your kid has a much better admit chance applying ED1 or ED2 at Hopkins. It and its ED1, ED2 partner, Chicago, should not be in the top 10.[/quote]

I’ve noticed you posting several times in the college forum that JHU and Chicago don’t belong in the top 10. That’s just your opinion, and you’re entitled to it, but it’s strange that you’re so fixated on these two particular schools and their ranking. Ever seen the Nobel laureate figures for Chicago? Or noticed the fact that other research universities hold these two places in high esteem?[/quote]
