[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JHU doesn't have a pipeline to finance consulting careers like the other top 25s. But if you child wants research, it's the best school for that. [/quote]

1000% wrong. [/quote]

Then you clearly don’t know finance or consulting. It simply is not a target school for Bulge Brackets and MBB. JHU has very little representation in those places. [/quote]

JHU pumps out grads that actually improve the world, unlike Yale and Harvard that produce scumbags who ruin the country by working for consulting companies making 7 figures to figure out ways to lay people off, or who work on Wall Street and tank the economy while demanding tax payer handouts when their gambling and scams implode.  [/quote]

Please name me JHU grads who are actually improving the world, as you claim, and I'll wait.... [/quote]

Leana Wen 
A good number of Nobel Prize Winners[/quote]

She did not go to JHU.

Harvard and Yale have produced 4x and 2x more Nobel Prize winners than JHU...

Stop fooling yourself with the idea that JHU people have a superior moral mission to save the world or it's better than H or Y blah blah blah. It's just a pathetic excuse for JHU's significantly lower caliber of students and graduating alumni, and I say that as an objective fact, so you shouldn't take offense because you know it well but just afraid to admit it.

It's one of the least desired schools in the T10 with a yield rate below 40% and that's with ED - or in the T20, for that matter. Barely a T10 school had it not been COVID-19, US News Rankings and Bloomberg's record-breaking donation, but I doubt it would make a difference. [/quote]

Your hatred for Hopkins is like 10 standard deviations beyond normal.  That leaves it to us to postulate why.[/quote]

Not PP, but I think JHU boosters are a bit too much too. They just need some reality check. [/quote]

JHU is similar to UChicago — both are research universities on a more 19th c. German model.  They are more focused on academics than on wealth and networking.  That distinction interferes with the meritocratic pretension that in the US the richest people/institutions = smartest people/institutions and it’s a drag for status-obsessed students who are compelled to settle for one of the schools (because t10) and then feel like they ended up at a less socially prestigious school and, to add insult to injury, are now forced to work much harder than kids who went to the Ivies or Stanford. (Certain Ivy-obsessed parents then point to that hard work as a sign of the mediocrity (and/or social ineptitude) of the students at the more academics-focused schools).

OTOH, if you are (or have) a kid who loves academics (and who loves cities), both JHU and UofC can be great places to be.  But when you point that out (e.g. in discussions like this one), you’re accused of being a delusional booster.[/quote]
