<p>Johns Hopkins is definitely both well-known and prestigious.</p>
<p>Best medical school and many science nobel prize laureates including one last year.</p>
<p>Personally, i have heard of JHU but never Emory, before my college search.</p>
<p>it’s kind of funny how you cant mention “johns hopkins” and “prestige” on CC without someone talking about the medical school…</p>
<p>yes, the university is prestigous. yes, in academia the university is very well-known - even if the layman may only know of the hospital or med school. </p>
<p>johns hopkins is regarded as a top research university (not just limited to science/medicine) on a national and international scale with world-class music (peabody), liberal arts (humanities as well as science), and engineering programs.</p>
<p>I think Hopkins wins on the international perspective - overseas it’s very well known. Around the world, Hopkins is known as one of the top institutions based on world rankings and the systems used in the UK. It’s top 20 in all global rankings.</p>
<p>Apply to a school that you feel best suits you and your interest. Prestige varies from person to person, from program to program, and from place to place. The following is copied from another thread on one particular program compared internationally.</p>
<p>[Business</a> school rankings and MBA rankings from the Financial Times](<a href=“http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/global-mba-rankings]Business”>http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/global-mba-rankings)</p>
<p>Depending on where you want to go after undergrad.</p>
<p>Wall Street? Not really (coming from someone with personal experience with the big cats on the street…)</p>
<p>Medical School? Obviously.</p>
