Sorry, I meant the “undefined” category — that’s what is majority Asian (multiracial maybe as well; depends on geography more). It would have been great if that column was included. |

+1 Anyway OP cherrypicked stats for the year following the SC decision, where there were massive dips. Elite colleges shifted to targeted FGLI recruitment, and it looks like numbers bounced back pretty well for the Class of 2025. |

For some schools (like Amherst), probably. For others that were less stringent in their legal interpretation the first year, they might still go down a bit. |

The OP posted reliable information. If it's not sufficiently comprehensive for you, then the forum is open for you to contribute your own research. |

Impossible to cherry pick when n=1. |

| Black enrollment at Amherst, Hamilton, Middlebury, Vassar, and Colgate is embarrassing. |

| So is this a good or bad thing? |

| Why don’t we look at the rate of low income admissions? Why are we still even looking at race? |

Yes, a lot of Asian in lacs are Wasian. Look at 30% Asian in Wellesley, most of them are Wasian. |

Honest question about the data: some add up to or are near 100% though most do not (undefined/won’t answer category - I get it).
My question is why some of the 100% schools don’t seem to have that category — and some do. Are they all from the same source? |

| Kids of color, especially kids who are not athletes, can find life at a small rural college challenging. It’s harder to access certain social and cultural outlets on a small campus in a place like Vermont or Maine or rural Virginia. |

| Exactly schools like Hamilton, Middlebury, Colgate, Colby, Bates are located in very rural locations with no diversity . |
