Maybe not relevant anymore as original post was 4 years ago, but maybe helpful for future readers: Sorry, have to disagree. You will have that name and brand recognition the rest of your life and every time someone reads your resume they will see Johns Hopkins as opposed to GW. I have worked as an International Professional Recruiter and Internal HR for a University for the past 3 years, and trust me, the "brand name" never dies or wears off for the rest of your career/life, especially on the international level of employment where many more people have heard of the prestigious name of JH vs. GW.
