“Johns Hopkins University is America's premier research institution.”

---

When did that happen?

For Bio-Medical research, maybe one of the top three.

For the Physical Sciences and Engineering, maybe one of the top fifteen.

America's premier research institutes haven't changed in a long time...

Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UCBerkeley, Cal Tech.....and the rest of the usual suspects.

Georgia Tech is one of the top research universities especially in Engineering disciplines and I do know they still require a vigorous core studies requirement in Math, Science, English, History, etc.
