[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If what you want is a university without all the holistic admissions nonsense to cover up admissions corruption, Hopkins is the place. Grades, Standardized tests, Teacher recommendations. Daddy does not need to set up an NGO.[/quote]

How do you come to this conclusion?  I get they don’t factor legacy, but assume they care about all the other holistic stuff.

They also absolutely recruit athletes.[/quote]

They do recruit athletes and my child was going through it with them. The coaches made it very clear that the standards for admission are the standards for admission. They asked for grades and test scores almost right off the bat. And maybe there is some allowances for Hopkins athletes, it is not out experience and it most def is not a significant allowance. DC didn't go as JHU was not taking DC's position in DC's grad year so it didn't work out. But one of DC's teammates IS going there and that kid is beyond smart and I have no doubt meets the academic requirements.

Athletes are not taking anyone's kid's spot at Hopkins. [/quote]
Ok, so you need good grades but only in  regular classes. I’ve seen the kids who get recruited and the academic standards aren’t the same. [/quote]

That is your summary of my post? That's not even remotely what we were told/experienced or what I said. And while your last sentence may be correct at some schools, it's not at Hopkins. [/quote]
