[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]

18% white is the result of rabid DEI. [/quote]

According to College Navigator, Hopkins is 20% Hispanic, 9% Black, 0% Native/ Indigenous, 26% Asian, 22% White and 14% international. Both the Hispanic and Asian group (and even the Black/ African American group) are likely to include students who are not only disadvantaged but students who are the children of very successful people - whether in the U.S. or abroad. DC Asians trend wealthy -  but there are plenty of poor Asians in NYC and California, for example. And DC Hispanics include many poorer Central Americans, but Hispanics also include the children of educated migrants who fled their countries for political reasons or the children of engineers, doctors, etc in their native countries or who came to the U.S. to work. Oh, and there are plenty of poor whites. As a matter of fact, I suspect that most people who benefit from geographic diversity (hello Nebraska student) are white, non-Hispanic.

You just need to look at the actual statistics of the incoming class at Hopkins (gpa, test scores, class rank), to see that the kids are qualified.
