<p>I think JHU has more of a claim of being in the top 10 than schools like Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, and (perhaps) Duke do. If you look at research, Nobel laureate alumni, etc. JHU blows these other schools out of the water. So again, as warblesrule put in his post #2, it all depends at what criteria you’re looking at.</p>
