<p>is that 98% placement for law school just plain acceptance to A law school? if it's not their first choice law school, that figure is pretty much meaningless, lot of crappy law schools out there..</p>
<p>But of course, it means getting into ANY law school.</p>
<p>While International Studies (which is interdisciplanary) and Biomedical Engineering are the most populated majors, Hopkins has several other outstanding undergraduate programs including:</p>
<p>Writing Seminars
English
History
History of Art
Biology
Biophysics
Neuroscience
Environmental Engineering
Earth & Planetary Sciences
Near Eastern Studies
Public Health
German; Romance Languages & Literatures</p>
<p>are there meaningless crappy American medical schools out there too? I think there are about 170 American Bar Association approved law schools in the US. There are also law schools that are not ABA approved (many in CA) that JHU grads would never apply to. All the law schools that JHU grads apply to are among the Top 100 and are ABA approved/accedited.</p>
<p>Is there any real evidence that indicates JHU is any better for law school acceptance than other top schools? Sorry but the fact (doesnt look like a fact but an obvious safe assumption) that JHU grads apply to top 100 law schools just doesn't cut it.</p>
<p>As mentioned before, JHU's environmental engineeriing program is tops....I work with many of the profs, and although the department (DOGEE for dept of geography & env eng) is small relative to other big name env eng schools, the faculty are outstanding & caliber of grad students is likewise great. Env eng undergrad program is a few years old, so I don't have much personal experience with that program yet, but I'd bet its likewise very good.</p>
<p>Also, the undergrad eng school, Whiting, has a nice minor program in entrepreneurship. I have been very impressed by the undergrad students from several departments who have gone thru this program.</p>
