It took the 13 most popular undergraduate rankings and used the averages to find an overall rank. I recommend looking at the original post on Reddit because it has a lot of cool data that goes with it to explain what's going on, but for those who just want a sneak peak of the results:

1. MIT
2. Stanford
3. Princeton
4. Harvard
5. Duke
5. Yale
7. Penn
8. Caltech
9. Columbia
9. Northwestern
11. Vanderbilt
12. Rice
13. Dartmouth
14. UChicago
15. Brown
16. Cornell
17. UMich
18. Johns Hopkins
19. WashU
20. Notre Dame[/quote]

This affirms the widely held notion that Hopkins is overrated on the latest US News ranking list.

This kind of aggregate ranking has its own flaws (for example, there are more than several rankings included in the aggregate that are not even remotely credible).[/quote]

JFC.  In what world is U Mich higher than Hopkins?  lmaof[/quote]

How many kids got into Hopkins vs U Mich at your high school.  This year we had 0 Hopkins admits and 18 U Mich.[/quote]

How many 18 year olds  really wants to go to Hopkins anyway?  [/quote]

About 38,500.[/quote]

38,500 apply and the vast majority would go elsewhere if they were accepted at an elite. [/quote]

This is true, here are some of the cross admit preferences from Parchment, it's not perfect but it gives a general idea:

Yale 84% - JHU 16%
UPenn 83% - JHU 17%
Duke 81% - JHU 19%
Columbia 81% - JHU 19%
Northwestern 65% - JHU 35%
Cornell 51% - JHU 49%
[/quote]

Well, let’s go back to the original question -  Parchment says 62 percent chose HOPKINS, 38 MICHIGAN

Hopkins 65, UVA 35
Hopkins 80, Emory 20
Hopkins 53, Wash U 47
Hopkins 61, Vanderbilt 39[/quote]

Highly ranked private school on the east coast with an undergraduate student body at 1/5 the size of public Michigan. Naturally those who are accepted to both universities would be more likely to attend Hopkins, in this case at about a 2 to 1 ratio.  Still doesn’t explain the fact why a supposedly top ten school does so poorly against its private peers.[/quote]

Meh, not many schools are going to do well against the ivies.  Vanderbilt and Wash U are basically right behind in rankings, and Hopkins does well compared to both.[/quote]

Meg, Vanderbilt and WashU are ranked 13 and 15. That’s not just right behind….[/quote]

It is when various numbers are skipped due to ties.[/quote]

You can skip all the ties you want.  There are 6 and 8 universities ranked below JHU that I can almost guarantee would win the cross admit preferences between the schools. [/quote]

We get it, you hate Hopkins.  That doesn’t mean it isn’t a great school.  The move up in rankings will likely increase applications and further lower the acceptance rate.  Sorry that is difficult news for you.[/quote]

It was ranked #7 last year and has been top ten for quite some time. It still loses out substantially to its close peers in cross admitted students.  There must be a very good reason for that.  [/quote]
