[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopkins gets the perfect storm of lax bros, underachieving prep school whites, the med school obsessive Asian doctor pipeline, and B’More folk.

It’s Tulane without New Orleans. [/quote]

Yet somehow is always ranked in the top 10 every year (6-9). Those prep school kids can’t be too underachieving  :roll: [/quote]

yep, you misplaced your adjective:

Hopkins gets the perfect storm of [b]underachieving[/b] lax bros, prep school whites, the med school obsessive Asian doctor pipeline, and B’More folk.

The prep school kids who get in these days are super high achieving, HYP quality.  I know several from last year and they were top 5% at super strenuous schools.

The rest is completely accurate and what makes Hopkins such a weird mix.

Hopkins alum here, there actually are not a lot of “Baltimore folk” attending, and I would not have fit into any of these categories.  Op with the kid interested in physics, visit, you won’t get accurate info on dcum.[/quote]

My kid just visited and all but two of the students he talked to were international students. Everyone seemed friendly. The food was good. The (American) students playing the club sport he likes were also nice. [/quote]
