[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2013, 9 percent of incoming freshmen at Hopkins had “legacy” connections, the university said, and 18 percent identified as Black, Latino, American Indian, Native Alaskan or Native Hawaiian. By last fall the legacy share had plummeted to less than 2 percent while the percentage from the underrepresented racial and ethnic groups had soared to 34 percent. [b]The White share of freshmen, meanwhile, sank to 17 percent in 2022. [/b]Federal data show it had been 46 percent a decade earlier.

For those that have not read the article^, not sure it was linked prior.[/quote]

I think the article is slightly off, 21 percent Caucasian for class of 2026 per Hopkins website.   The Asian enrollment is 26 percent.  International, which is likely mostly a combination of those two groups, is 14 percent.[/quote]

That is still unproportionable/very low/not representative of US population statistics.[/quote]

US population statistics should matter, but share of college-ready Seniors should.  And Whites and Asians still make up more than 75% of that low threshold.  [/quote]
