You just said CIC is a subset of AAU schools. All ivies and JHU are in AAU. The list of AAU members seem more prominent, and exclusive. I don't see how being in CIC makes JHU different.

Subject: Is Johns Hopkins a place for non pre-med students
My kid is currently at Hopkins. Double majoring in AMS/CS and plans to go to grad school although managed to get a great internship last summer that may change that direction. Kid is also an athlete and has made Deans list every semester. They were also a STEM nerd in HS and this is just more of the same. All that said, there is more than enough of a social life with parties (pre Covid) and small house gatherings plus the area around campus is not nearly as bad as the reputation it's gotten. As a parent I'm a little pissy about the over abundance of caution re in person classes (ie kid still has remote classes) but what are you going to do?

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.
I have no affiliation with Hopkins, but it is a consensus top 10 school in the world. They are strong across all disciplines like its Ivy league peers. It also has access to as many resources, between its billions in endowment and membership in the CIC- something no Ivy can claim. It is really weird to read someone's words that castigate such a well reknown university as if it were the University of Phoenix online diploma mill.
It's not. Show me the consensus. I am just trying to expose the lies and exaggerations of you JHU boosters. USNWR ranks 6 medical schools ahead of JHU's very own, which is like the only thing the school is specialized in. Harvard, NYU, Duke, Columbia, Stanford all are much more well-known and have bigger endowments than JHU and overall much stronger across the board than whatever discipline it is at JHU. I have not even heard of the CIC and stop making the organization sound as if it's super important or prestigious as the Association of American Universities (AAU), which all the ivies are a part of. I looked at the list of CIC schools and 95% are third-rate institutions, not exactly the same league JHU should be aspiring to be in.
LOL, your ignorance of the CIC is astounding, and it is a subset of AAU schools.
Honestly no one really cares about those organizations so stop making them sound as if they're such a big deal.

1000% wrong.
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.
I think this has more to do with who chooses to attend JHU vs other schools. There's a lot of selection going on here. A student whose primary goal is to end up in finance or high powered business is not likely to choose Hopkins undergrad, but that doesn't mean Hopkins doesn't offer a high quality degree (even for a subject like Economics). As my time there in graduate programs, a large majority of Hopkins students were planning to go on to graduate school and their placement was excellent.

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

Your hatred for Hopkins is like 10 standard deviations beyond normal. That leaves it to us to postulate why.
Not PP, but I think JHU boosters are a bit too much too. They just need some reality check.
