Hopkins actually has a relatively high test blind admits rate.

To be specific, sixty percent of enrolled students submitted test scores. If you want examples of good diversity and standardized test scores required, look at MIT or GaTech.

Leave that poor woman alone. Anyone born in this country is technically a Native American.

Well, then for those standardized score obsessed parents, encourage your kids to apply to Hopkins.

I bet they prefer somewhere more fun!

30% of US students are Asian. The number is actually closer to 40% because the majority of international students are Chinese.

When we toured JHU, the focus of their tour was all science research all the time. My white kid was not that into it and is now at an Ivy. Asians are the most science-oriented ethnic group in this country.

It’s called “hate mongering”

BS. Asians are the largest demographic group at JHU.

Forty percent of white kids were claiming URM status last year.

Asian academic achievement and test scores does not make those numbers surprising

Also considering hopkins’ strengths one would think it would be even higher

Take a walk around Hopkins sometime - it feels way more Asian than just 30%

Who cares? JHU has always been known as a niche school for nerdy pre-meds. If they want to prep non-white doctors, that’s fine. Plenty of other schools with more to offer overall.

If this is true, then this "skew" is fine. If not, no.
