I think I should wait JHU's decision.

Yes, definitely.
BTW:
JHU.edu has more hits for NLP and IR (which may be a sign but is complicated by number of students, etc.):
site - Google Search
site:brown.edu "natural language processing" - Google Search
site:usc.edu "natural language processing" - Google Search
site:jhu.edu "information retrieval" - Google Search
site:brown.edu "information retrieval" - Google Search
site:usc.edu "information retrieval" - Google Search
(
JHU has 14,275 graduate students while
Brown has only 2,204.)
Brown and JHU each have some links here:
Statistical NLP / corpus-based computational linguistics resources
The links for Brown are:

Learning Dynamical Systems
LDC Catalog

In favor of Brown historically:
Quote:
The original, unannotated Brown corpus, a balanced sampling of English language usage, was collected in the 60s (long before BLLIP) by Brown linguists Francis and Kucera.

Brown Corpus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anyway, have you checked out the course websites? Since you are seeking an MS degree, that could be a decisive factor.
Lastly, Brown has 2 links here while there are none for JHU:
