<p>“Secondly you know tons of people internationally? really? from where? people studying at JHU? please give some contacts. Cmon man i can speak for the third world countries and i can say UPenn, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford and MIT are the most well known . I can say this becaus ei have met thse people, i have read books published there, I HAVE read the newspapers, almost all colleges want to be like them, want to hear more?”</p>
<p>Again its all BS. You have done no research. And neither have I so for you to claim you know the rest of the world thinks Penn is more prestigious is spouting BS. I have lived in different countries throughout my life and have studied abroad. That is how I know alot of people internationally. The ONLY schools I can agree with as more prestigious internationally than Hopkins are harvard, yale, princeton, stanford, mit. The rest is all hearsay and YOU know it. This post deviates from the rest as we are discussing perceived prestige/image and not quality. And for you to make such a generalization without sound facts is ridiculous. Look at the penn article i cited, Wharton students talk about why they do not discuss the name Penn with employers. If DOMESTIC STUDENTS are wary of Penn’s name, why should i believe your “analysis”?
Obviously Hopkins is known for more its med school. More importantly, it is known for its #1 BME program in the country along with its highly touted bio, IR, writing seminars (#2 behind Iowa), and neurosci programs. And if you still dont believe me with regards to international perception, go read the 3 international rankings out right now. ALL of them rank JHU higher than Penn.</p>
