[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My URM son got rejected.  His stats are 1580 SAT, 4.8 weighted GPA, 12 APs with 5s on all exams, leadership roles in 3 honor societies, independent research, and tons of community service.

I am a JHU alum and my kid did not apply ED 1 or ED2.  So, I think that is why he was rejected. Hopkins like prospective students who apply ED and they have become anti-legacy.  So, we were expecting a rejection.

My kid is okay though and not the least bit upset. Hopkins was his first rejection. He has already been admitted into UMD Honors, UMBC, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Penn State, UT Austin, and University of Michigan.  He is still waiting on Rice, Northwestern, and Ivies.

Congratulations to all the students who have been admitted!  I wish you the best of luck at Hopkins because it is a great school.  :thumbup: [/quote]

No legacy is fine.  Discriminating against legacy with better stats is not fine.

You are taking it better than us.  The email circulating defining white, male, hetero, as privilege was enough to make me question my alum…but they’re standards of scores not mattering and taking lesser and lesser GPAs. They have flown the coup.  Baltimore is getting worse too.[/quote]
