[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These universities were publicly advertising that they wanted 'first generation' students.  Hopkins president came out and said he didn't want legacy.  My husband was a first generation JHU student so it's crazy that our kid will be dinged because his dad went there.

Princeton advertised that [b]68% of their student body is mixed race[/b].  That makes me very leery of what people are claiming on their applications.  Hello Pocahontas Warren wannabes.[/quote]

That's impossible--less than 10% of the US population under 18 years old is biracial/mixed race. I think you mean people of color or non-white. I found this that supports your 68% number: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9451013/Princeton-selecting-fewer-white-students-year.html[/quote]

Princeton announced its 2025 class on Thursday; 68% are non-white (black, Asian, Hispanic and other races)

I have read studies that universities used test optional to drive up non-whites for a few years.  VA Tech like Hopkins is gunning for first generation students and minorities too.[/quote]
