45% of freshmen are Asian-American, up from 26% just 2 yrs ago. And that doesn't include int'l students, mostly from Asia.

Black Americans make up only 0.84% of the total U.S. population with an IQ of 130 or higher which is a good standard for an elite medical school like JH. 3% is very generous.

People forget that affirmative action wasn't just about race. It was about geography, income, first-gen status. Remove it and the student body shifts back to wealthy kids from good zip codes. That's what these charts show. Not opinion. Just data.

No, affirmative action is literally about race, and that’s why it is so flawed.

As long as it’s due to their test scores and not because of their skin color or any other illogical reasons, I’m good with it

To be fair, they didn't say nobody knows why. They said they can't say it.

John Hopkins is rated #7 in the UNSWR academic rankings, which I think is just based on undergrad.

UNSWR is pretty much considered a dogshit ranking by people who are actually in academia, but it's what most of the public uses to judge undergraduate colleges.
