How do you come to this conclusion? I get they don’t factor legacy, but assume they care about all the other holistic stuff.

They also absolutely recruit athletes.

As a practical matter, they do not care a whole lot about other "holistic" stuff. Legacy is out. Not that much athletic recruitment at JHU. Lacross and Fencing are the only exceptions, I think.

No, they recruit for all sports…just their D3 sport recruiting looks different than their D1 sport recruiting. I know kids recruited for baseball and wrestling.

The largest demographic group at JHU is Asian... why are is OP emphasizing hispanic and rather than what is actually the largest demographic group?

I agree with your take OP. It's not advantageous to identify as white (or asian) in the college admissions game so people are really trying to reach and find that BIPOC ancestor back in the day

Not sure how you equate “not white” with “no hooks.” It sounds like you’re saying parents of non-white students wouldn’t have attended JHU.

Good point. They're still "somehow" getting the best & brightest and standards and rigor are being maintained. They can apparently do so with or without "white" students.

According to jhu there are more Hispanic kids than non-Hispanic white kids in the class of 2027. What? This has to be a lot of white kids fibbing and putting down latino because I’ve been on campus multiple times recently and these numbers do not feel right
