[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]

It is an interesting question. Is it DEI racism or something else? Two points to aid the discussion:

1. UC Berkeley, with its race-blind admissions, is now less than 30 percent white. Importantly it is the top destination in the state for top kids and top white kids (in addition to Stanford and UCLA). So everyone applies

2. White kids with the stats to get into JHU are generally able to get into other top schools, too. And, to a greater extent, MAY go elsewhere (only suggesting this as a possibility, with no proof to back it up).
