Doesn't JHU accept just 30 students? How come they are not selective with such a limited capacity, or do they more students than I know?

I don't really know. But certainly, I can't imagine Brown being less selective than JHU given Brown's relative prominence in USNews for CS. For specifics, it may help to check the profiles of the accepted/rejected:
Edulix InfoBank | Reports
For a quick impression:
computer science brown • thegradcafe.com
computer science hopkins • thegradcafe.com
Also, Brown is certainly a more popular topic of conversation in this forum than JHU.
Simiarly, a comment from Edulix:

Both the MS programs at Brown and JHU seem more like professional degrees (at least the one at JHU), so that may make USC more favorable in that respect.
It is unfortunate that Brown only seems to offer one advanced graduate course in NLP. So I would be tempted by USC since it offers a traditional thesis option while, apparently, offering more NLP courses. The fact that USC requires an algorithms course is only a good thing, IMHO. Then again, Brown is Ive League for about the same price
