[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ED1 to preferred school. (JHU is an “easier” admit ED1.)

ED2 to a school that is a notch down (Vandy is not a notch down from JHU; ignore US News rankings). Too many students make the mistake of not going down ED2….should not be the plan.[/quote]

delusional. hopkins has far better programs than vandy. especially stem[/quote]
You sound like an international student, a striver, or both. For undergrad, Vandy is a tougher admit for domestic students: high stats are not enough.[/quote]

you’re pulling stuff out of thin air. Vandy is easier based on naviance and overall stats. only 51% submit scores at vandy and scores are lower than hopkins. meanwhile they accepted 15% of their entering class from waitlist while hopkins accepted 2%.  [/quote]
Not the Naviance that I have; it’s the opposite. Vandy is looking for — and gets — a particular type of student. Hopkins looks for -and does not get - a particular type of student, and ends up with only one type, precisely the type they are trying to get away from.[/quote]

What is the type jhu trying to get away from?[/quote]
A one-dimensional bio-STEM school. Yeah, I know they have some other good programs, such as philosophy. But their efforts are not working, precisely because the Vandy and like schools are seen by non-STEM students as more desirable. It is a vicious cycle…[/quote]

One third of jhu kids are humanities.

International Relations 
History
Writing 
Philosophy 
All very top programs [/quote]

Hopkins alum and agree, engineering is also strong.  And these majors have been strong for three decades.  International relations is particular accounts for a sizable portion of the class.  I’d add Econ to this list as well.[/quote]
