[quote=Anonymous][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]

This. [/quote]

1000 percent. Compared to its peer schools, Hopkins is much more about academic achievement when it comes to admissions. Period.

So, sure there are a few recruited athletes etc etc. But, nothing like other schools. This may not work for every student, like those who want school spirit to be built around the football team, for instance. But it does make admission more straightforward. [/quote]

Which is all very well and good in principal.

But 18 percent white is ridiculous. 75 percent of the US is white.

Show me the numbers that Black and Hispanic students are doing so much better than the white students applying to places like Hopkins.

I'll wait.

I'm all for meritocracy. Academic achievement should be the metric. But this is just DEI racism. [/quote]
Actually you are wrong. That 75% you quoted includes white Hispanics.

The White, non-Hispanic population of the US is 58.9%…and this number includes people of middle eastern and North African origin. This means the actual white population is probably closer to 55%. [/quote]

And that 55% is the entire population.  I am having trouble putting my fingers on the number now but the percentage of white, non-Hispanic in the 18-24 year old range is lower then the percentage of the total population.  [/quote]
