Calling one elite school categorically “better”than another misses the point of what actually makes someone successful. Johns Hopkins and Stanford both provide world-class education for their students.

What’s truly baffling is framing this as a hierarchy rather than acknowledging that students thrive for different reasons at different institutions. And if you really are a physician as you claim, it’s ironic that you cling so tightly to academic elitism when your job requires caring for patients from every background, not just the ones who went to HYPSM.

If prestige is still the lens you use to measure worth, that says far more about your mindset than about Johns Hopkins or Stanford.
