Do you think the census data is reflective of the diversity of Yale’s applicant pool? I think not.

Actually the opposite. What percent of their applicant pool do you think is black? I’m guessing well under 5%.

That's true for lower/middle class.

And upper class. DD goes to a private school where many, many of the kids are mixed race (and NOT just Asian-white).

I think realistically it should be cerca

White 60%
Asian 35%
Latin 3%
Black 2%
