<p>johns hopkins is WAY underrated, and i am suprised it isnt getting more attention on this thread. great programs in everything really. best in BME by far, solid all around in engineering, SAIS is top 5, great language programs. Maybe im missing something, but it seems to me that hopkins has all of their bases covered. the only real knock on hopkins is this false perception of competition, which is suppose is a byproduct (even though its not real) of their curved grading system. but guess what? princeton is starting the same grading policy, and im sure the other top 10 will follow in the next 10 years. bottom line…Hopkins is WAY underrated.</p>
<p>**Actually, ive heard (from a hopkins undergrad who is @ stanford med) that the farther away you get from the east coast, the more the hopkins name is respected - which is sort of interesting. ----> killa cali here i come, after hopkins of course.</p>
