delusional. hopkins has far better programs than vandy. especially stem

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.


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%.

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.


What is the type jhu trying to get away from?

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…


One third of jhu kids are humanities.

International Relations
History
Writing
Philosophy
All very top programs

Peabody is a separate campus. Not including Peabody, it is 3% humanities, which is downright embarrassing. Thanks for inadvertently proving my point!

Here is vandy: https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=vanderbilt&s=all&id=221999#programs

What exactly is impressive about the humanities distribution here? If we look at english, history, philo, creative writing, it is ~3%.

Vandy is 186/1820 or10%. You are an idiot.

JHU is known internationally as a prestigious school if that matters for future career.

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.

Yes, add Econ as another humanities major, alum.

I think the sadder part is Vandy desperately wants to be good at stem but just isn't. Meanwhile JHU is better at humanities.


Is Vandy good at any particular humanities major?

Learn what humanities are — or did you go to JHU? Maybe that’s the problem.
