A "Laid-Back" Student Body...?

<p>

“Duke and Stanford have very, very similar student bodies IMO.”</p>

<p>Not really.</p>

<p>Duke = Rejected BY HYP
Stanford = Rejected HYP

</p>

<p>Similarities between schools are about more than SAT avg and acceptance rates. The mentality of students and campus atmosphere of Stanford and Duke are very similar and probably more similar to each other than they are to any of HYP whether Stanford students all got into HYP and Duke students all got rejected by HYP or not.</p>

There are PLENTY of students at Hopkins who study hard, but also know how to party and have tons of fun. The two are not mutually exclusive. Smart, well-balanced kids are the rule at Hopkins

<p>That’s not the impression I get from any of the JHU grads I’ve met. Actually, I would say that JHU is the exact opposite of what it seems the OP is seeking.</p>
