<p>“…the university had the strongest applicant pool in its history, and it had accepted more students than ever in the three traditionally underrepresented minority groups African American, Hispanic and Native American.”</p>
<p>I bleed Democrat blue and for a long time, I had agreed with affirmative action. Since the whole college process and getting decisions, one of which was a rejection from JHU, I have to say that I can no longer support AA. To think that I was more qualified than many others but they were the ones getting accepted simply because of their skin color or ethnicity gets under my skin a bit. I’m even more disappointed that JHU is not need-blind and rejects students based on their family’s income, but that has nothing to do with the thread and is a debate for another day. Cheers.</p>
