Did he feel dating options were limited?

Why would dating options be limited? There are plenty of young, single, SMART, ambitious people. Does their differing race or ethnicity limit his options?

This.

1000 percent. Compared to its peer schools, Hopkins is much more about academic achievement when it comes to admissions. Period.

So, sure there are a few recruited athletes etc etc. But, nothing like other schools. This may not work for every student, like those who want school spirit to be built around the football team, for instance. But it does make admission more straightforward.

Which is all very well and good in principal.

But 18 percent white is ridiculous. 75 percent of the US is white.

Show me the numbers that Black and Hispanic students are doing so much better than the white students applying to places like Hopkins.

I'll wait.

I'm all for meritocracy. Academic achievement should be the metric. But this is just DEI racism.

18% white is the result of rabid DEI.

Send your kid to BYU.

It is an interesting question. Is it DEI racism or something else? Two points to aid the discussion:

1. UC Berkeley, with its race-blind admissions, is now less than 30 percent white. Importantly it is the top destination in the state for top kids and top white kids (in addition to Stanford and UCLA). So everyone applies

2. White kids with the stats to get into JHU are generally able to get into other top schools, too. And, to a greater extent, MAY go elsewhere (only suggesting this as a possibility, with no proof to back it up).

Did he like his time there ? What does he say about the social aspect, general day-to-day environment?

Absolutely loved it and made friends for life. Don't they would have traded the experience for any other.

Good to hear.

You can’t be half Hispanic, either you are or you’re not.

Tell that to the census folks. Also, plenty of scholarships allow 1/4 Hispanic students to apply.

Agree. And if they are adhering to the new SC ruling, there is absolutely no way the next incoming class can be only 18-19% white. It is racial discrimination.

Be careful what you wish for. Hopkins could very easily be 70% Asian next year.

I know you Asians love to think whites aren’t as bright. Just untrue. Which big tech innovators are Asian? Gates or Jobs or Bezos or Musk? Which race invented Crisp-r technology? Who discovered DNA? The polio vaccine? Covid vaccine?

Personally, I’m glad you aren’t getting screwed at Hopkins like you do at most universities—but there’s no need to put down another race. My white kids are top in their classes in high school—and scored 36 on ACT; 5s on all APs (yes the Calc and science ones too).

This exactly!

You can’t be half Hispanic, either you are or you’re not.

.

Or even by their name. Lots of non-Spanish surnames in Latin America and lots of kids who are Hispanic on their mom’s side but carry their dad’s non-Hispanic surname.

According to College Navigator, Hopkins is 20% Hispanic, 9% Black, 0% Native/ Indigenous, 26% Asian, 22% White and 14% international. Both the Hispanic and Asian group (and even the Black/ African American group) are likely to include students who are not only disadvantaged but students who are the children of very successful people - whether in the U.S. or abroad. DC Asians trend wealthy - but there are plenty of poor Asians in NYC and California, for example. And DC Hispanics include many poorer Central Americans, but Hispanics also include the children of educated migrants who fled their countries for political reasons or the children of engineers, doctors, etc in their native countries or who came to the U.S. to work. Oh, and there are plenty of poor whites. As a matter of fact, I suspect that most people who benefit from geographic diversity (hello Nebraska student) are white, non-Hispanic.

You just need to look at the actual statistics of the incoming class at Hopkins (gpa, test scores, class rank), to see that the kids are qualified.

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

https://apply.jhu.edu/fast-facts/

It’s a messy chart but does it really say Latine instead of Latino? 🙄
