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

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

My DS from a MD public had a 4.0uw and 1550. This seemed like the baseline for the kids we know who got in. Then add in good ec and essays

Today is decision day for Hopkins RD... so I'll be able to let folks know if my unhooked kid 4.0 UW, 1500 SAT gets in. He got into CMU last week, which he was surprised by...

What major?

My kid's friend attended JHU and is now in med school, admitted after being waitlisted at one lower-ranked med school. That's a win for that kid, obviously, and we are thrilled for them, but could have attended any state flagship and seen the same or better result.

For some reason Johns Hopkins is one of the schools DCUM does not prefer. My white-male DS is there and loves it but is in the engineering program, not humanities, and did not come from NOVA so I won’t bother posting stats since they aren’t relevant to the question. Like many of the T10 schools, JHU does skew Asian but of course that is based on stats not DEI. And the humanities are strong there as well as technical and medical subjects, particularly international relations. Hopefully some posters that have actual answers to what OP asked will answer rather than a bunch of people that don’t have anything helpful and just want to complain about demographics and give opinions about why OP shouldn’t be interested in the top university she asked about.

The Russian bots are out again on DCUM!

You wish they were bots. The tide has turned. Most colleges no longer require it; out of a thousand that once did, less than 50 still do. Johns Hopkins is a particularly prominent one of them.

JHU is not a great place to get an undergrad degree, even in biomedical

Yes. My DC has a friend who got in ED. These are his stats. White boy + athlete.

This is still crucial at Hopkins.

What are you talking about...consideration of this is now a non-issue at all schools (Supreme Court).

Diversity is still allowed to be a consideration based on essay response, so there is a big enough loophole, for schools to exploit if they want to.

However, I would sympathize with the thought that many people who consider law school when they are teenagers don't actually end up applying later.

Amazingly, at the moment here in mid March 2024, Johns Hopkins still requires undergrads to get a COVID vaccine. Even Harvard has stopped requiring that. JHU is now the top ranked school in the US with such requirement.

Not like those folks know anything about medicine.

The writing seminars and international studies programs are T5 in the country, so there are reputational reasons for attending. Economics has also historically been strong. Professors are very accessible as almost no class is taught by TAs (the exception being the required freshman writing seminar that all students must take).
