Shouldn't Georgetown be higher? Otherwise sounds about right.

Georgetown and Notre Dame should each be higher and all the state schools + Johns Hopkins should be lower but, hey, this is US News!



Hopkins has better engineering and stem than most of the schools on the list including Duke, Penn, and all other ivies below.

Hopkins is an ED2 safety. It’s like Chicago. Duke, Penn, and all other Ivies don’t have ED2. I wonder why?


What does that have to do with top rankings exactly? It has higher freshman stats than Duke, Penn, and most other ivies.


And unlike most ivies, it is test required and does not consider legacy. Should be and does have a high academic reputation for a reason


It just went test required again starting with Fall 2026 applications.

Hopkins has only had like 54% of admits submitting while the Ivy schools that are TO are in the 80% range (and I think they all are back to test required).


you just made a bunch or stuff up but good try.

hopkins is 68% test submitted: https://oira.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/CDS_2024-2025_JHU-2.pdf

cornell was 58% with other ivies similar.

Yale (you can submit AP scores instead of sat/act), princeton, columbia remain test optional.

nice try though

The big question is whether or not some of those changes will be rolled back in light of the new administration.


This. Pretty sure he will be weighing in any day with his dictate on what the rankings should be - or off with their heads!

Hopkins is a great school but, come on, we all know it is not top 10.

19-25 isn't right. USNWR will continue to have ties like they did this year. I think Emory is out of 25 and WUSTL is too high.

Emory is fine and so is WashU. The school thats most precarious is Georgetown. The t25 with the lowest endowment.

But Georgetown is one of the schools that shows how off USNews is. A tougher admit than 1/2 the schools on this list, and super prestigious for what it does. Once it adopts the common app, its acceptance rate will be well into the single digits — without ED. At a certain point you have to listen to kids (who are very prestige-conscious) and how they are voting with their feet.

I concur. Note that U.S. News did sponsor such a survey of recent alumni in one year and the results were weighted in its rankings.

Have you been on campus? It's a bore and surrounding neighborhood is dangerous.
