<p>I am interested in applying to Johns Hopkins business program. Yes, I know many of you have never heard of it. It is indeed a small program, mostly aimed working adults but does have full time students attending. Johns Hopkins is widely known as a very prestigious school but its business program is not. Would having a degree from Johns Hopkins outweigh the fact that Johns Hopkins isn't ranked in a specific area or vice versa. Name vs Specialty </p>
<p>Example: Getting a business degree from Richmond(Very good b school) vs a business degree from Dartmouth college(not ranked) </p>
<p>You mean Richmond Robbins vs. Brown BEO (not ranked, not AACSB-accredited) or JHU Carey since Dartmouth has no undergrad business program… only undergraduate courses.</p>
<p>Dude, I already gave you advice on this on your other thread. If you apply and get into Johns Hopkins working adults business program (which you probably will because it is a lot less competitive than A&S), it will not be worth it because prospective employers from top firms, business, and corporations will not be looking as heavily at this part of the college. Recruiters are not idiots and they can smell a student who got in through JHU’s backdoor. You would probably fare much better in terms of employment and recruitment at Richmond but if you truly want a Johns Hopkins degree than hey, no one is going to stop you but don’t just go somewhere for the name. They don’t even have on-campus dorms for the Carey Business school students and the majority of full-time students are on the Washington D.C. campus away from the main Baltimore campus, Carey’s undergraduate BBA is essentially the Harvard extension school of Johns Hopkins University. You would have the Hopkins name but none of the resources, advisers, and renowned faculty that make the place so great. Another piece of advice based on your last post, I would look heavily at schools that don’t require the SAT or ACT for transfers with 30 or more credits as there are more than you think including NYU, Cornell, Brown, Johns Hopkins (A&S), and Washington in St. Louis to name a few. A second piece of advice, consider a bachelors in economics as this can be just as useful as a business degree. You have the grades from Nassau community college to probably make the adcoms overlook your poor performance at your original institution so you have many options. Cornell has preferential admission programs with Nassau community college, here is a link: <a href=“http://cals.cornell.edu/admissions/upload/Course-Equivalency-Nassau-Community-College-Oct-10.pdf”>http://cals.cornell.edu/admissions/upload/Course-Equivalency-Nassau-Community-College-Oct-10.pdf</a>. You may have to stay a little longer and take more classes but the AEM school takes a lot of students from NY’s community colleges. Good luck once again but don’t go somewhere that will waste your time and money because you are bright. </p>
<p>Thanks I appreciate the advice and the link as well. I don’t think I’m eligible to apply Cornell because I have taken business calc and I think they want regular calc instead. </p>
