It's not.

Yup, there is an abundance of troll posts. Also, whomever is posting from their basement has no sense of current fashion, Tory Burch and Lily Pulitzer? Please.

yeah, lost all credibility there. All you have to do is look at demographic stats on wake forest to see OP is trying to stir the pot, as she did in the U. of Richmond post. Same claim "OMG ONLY WHITE PEOPLE" at admissions tour.

Not OP but one off the cuff example is that an inordinate number of them pop their collars.

And when it comes to colleges, unfortunately things align with economics and education. Most of your top 50 or so schools, no, most of your top 100 schools are not super diverse based on economics and education. We have noticed this at all levels of secondary and post secondary educational places.

I understand your shock.

WF is a good school. We know a handful of students there. Hopefully your DC can learn to enjoy the environment there. Good luck!

Honestly, you sound like you have an issue with white people. You should look up the racial stats of the school before visiting and maybe consider a HBCU.

OP here and the U. of Richmond post is not mine (Jeff can confirm). I actually know very little about Richmond and have never visited.

I’ll bite . I agree OPs comments about white washed are gross, but surely you understand that most people want some racial diversity ?

OK. I'll bite. I agree the comments about "white washed" are absurd!But do HBCU's search for racial diversity?

My Blackity-black DS is happy there, coming from a DC private that was majority those from the caucus mountains, Wake is no different. Corporate America is not diverse either and not forgetting our own state flagship in College Park.

I thought families no longer have interest in Wake anymore since it's ranked as a T50 now, so why are you all going there for tours?
