Is John Hopkins an MRM school?

No, by department research they are below Michigan, UCLA, Minnesota, Wisconsin ie. the "upper-tier MRM" school. By graduate program, their placement record is below several other MRM schools. Their reputation in econ is below their strength in other disciplines like medicine and public health.

\(\text{Yingyao Hu}\) made JHU into a Chinatown, as \(\text{Ping Wang}\) did to WUSTL.
Having a over representation of foreign born Asians In a graduate program kills its culture.
its lower-tier MRM but the atmosphere of the department is depressing. no sense of camaraderie (you know what i mean). that brings it a few notches down imo.

Why do you think Harvard looks at personality? Asians flock together, discriminate against other races, etc. I'm all for having objective criteria for admissions but the asians just game the system and then you're forced to admit too many of them. Sounds racist, but it's the damn truth and we all know it.

I went to JHU and now am tenured and very happy professionally. I felt that the atmosphere among the students was problematic when I was there too--I'm fairly aspie and socially phobic though, so maybe this was my own issue. While the first couple years were rough, the faculty there is great and I'm very grateful to them.

Frankly, JHU is very spotty. They have a world-class medical school but have a sub-par business school, other professional schools etc. For them, improving their economics department would be the last thing on their agenda considering that running a top medical school consumes so much of their resources. Frankly, most schools below top 20 do not have an incentive to improve their departments and are happy with their status quo.

Yes working really hard to excel at the the listed admission criteria is "gaming the system"
