John Hopkins?

Amazingly, at the moment here in mid March 2024, Johns Hopkins still requires undergrads to get a COVID vaccine. Even Harvard has stopped requiring that. JHU is now the top ranked school in the US with such requirement.

Wow. That is pure insanity. You would think they have a better understanding of public health policy at Johns Hopkins.

Stop answering yourself. None of us care. Our kids are all vaccinated and have been for years.

“In the United States, privilege is granted to people who have membership in one or more of these social identity groups: white people, able-bodied people, heterosexuals, cisgender people, males, Christians, Middle of owning-class people, Middle-aged people, English-speaking people.”

“One or more” lol My kid was screwed from the go..,

The ridiculousness of that list. I can’t even. Middle aged people??

DEI crowd is running out of excuses for their failure to be able to compete.

Is this a joke?

White male non-stem; 36 ACT; 4.0uw/4.4w at tough private. Took tour and donate, legacy in essay.

Did she submit the 30????

Maybe the one with the 30 had an EC they were looking for, like maybe she started a popular white-people-suck web site.

This skews the stats. It is also true that top stats students who lack legacy connections at Ivy schools etc (also proportionately non white) apply to Jhu

JHU's last class was 17-18% Caucasian. That is not skewing the stats a tad. That is the result of policy.

Not exactly. Look at U California Berkeley, for example. Race blind for a long time. What is the percentage of white students?

Apples and oranges. Cal is a state school with a high Asian and Hispanic populations. JHU is private school with no residency requirements. It is a massive discrepancy.

They are probably getting a lot of $$$ from the pharmaceutical companies.

California white pop = 70 percent.

More likely first gen, with great essays and recs. It’s never been just about high stats.

Congrats to your DD. Surprisingly low test score, I must say. What major?

First gen, urm, or other hook?

Nope, great essay, great recs, lots of ECs. Sometimes they just want really well rounded kids. Major = Engineering. Oh - she did go to public high school and took all their engineering classes including underwater robotics. (look it up in PWC VA - its real) Maybe schools are sick of the bookworms who do nothing but sit with tutors.

Who cares. It’s Hopkins. Another 4 years grinding it out sounds terrible.

My very high stats kid is debating whether to apply, leaning against for this reason. It's just not necessary to have another 4-year grind to achieve good outcomes after graduation.

^^^Agreed-nothing about the school seems the least bit fun for 4 formative years of your life.
