[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too undergrad focused. JHU is way too low, for example.  JHU gets the most govt funding out of any school in the country and has more Nobel prize winners than a lot of schools ranked higher.  A university is more than just about undergrads.  Hopkins has 29 Nobel prize winners while Duke only has 2, for example. [/quote]

For what it's worth, Duke definitely has more than 2 Nobel prize winners, not sure where you get that number.[/quote]

It was a typo - meant 12 as far as I know.  JHU still has 2x that. [/quote]

I imagine most of those Nobel prizes are from JHU medical school. Hardly has an effect on college which is what we're discussing.[/quote]

Many JHU undergrads do research a JHU medical school. It's also why JHU undergrads have huge success applying to med school - because the school has so much research opportunities available with so much federal money coming in for research. Besides, nearly all of the rankings are based on prestige.  Prestige comes from graduate programs and research, not undergrad programs.  Where are all of the universities on this list who only offer  bachelors or masters?   No where to be found, because obviously PhDs matter the most for these rankings, which means actual research, publications, and patents.  [/quote]

+1 JHU undergrads have huge success in applying to medical schools which is definitely boosted by their strong medical school. If you look at the top feeders to the best medical schools, JHU is 4th only behind Yale, Duke, and Stanford - it’s even ahead of Harvard.[/quote]
