[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience folks commenting here on t(e race/urm issue are mixing this up,with the fact that Jhu gets proportionately more students in areas slightly more favored by Asian students (stem). This skews the stats. It is also true that top stats students who lack legacy connections at Ivy schools etc (also proportionately non white) apply to Jhu [/quote]

JHU's last class was 17-18% Caucasian. That is not skewing the stats a tad. That is the result of policy. [/quote]

JHU is 18% white but that is primarily because it is 30% Asian and 14% international, not because it is 14% African American (which is darn near the percent of the general population) and 20 % Hispanic (again, consistent with the population).  No one is giving racial preference to Asians in higher education, based on essays or pre-SCT preferences.  So that imbalance can be assumed to be based on merit.  In fact, universities attempts to counteract the tendency to skew Asian were what some of the petioners complained about in the SCT law suit in the first place.  So since the school have been told they cannot consider race to counteract that anymore, one would expect that imbalance to continue or increase. This is not unique to Hopkins. And of corse this is not what OP asked about.  [/quote]
