[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience from a "Big3" or top private in DC, most top10 ED/SCEA deferrals that turned into acceptances were legacies or siblings or VIPs or all of the above. Very few unhooked kids were deferred ED and then accepted RD. If they were going to get accepted unhooked it was generally outright in ED/SCEA or outright in RD. Many kids (my own included) were deferred and then rejected in RD or deferred and then waitlisted in RD and then rejected. I.e. that ED deferral was a road to nowhere for the unhooked. That said, I don't know anything about Hopkins specifically. My post is mainly about the Ivies. [/quote] JHU ended the legacy policy in 2014. All NCAA varsity sports are Div 3, except for Lacrosse, Div 1. Aside from the moderate to strong athletic hook (depending on sport), there are very few hooks at JHU. The school runs similar admission policy as Caltech and MIT, i.e. meritocracy (academic combined with outstanding athletics/music)[/quote]
