+1. I'm class of '95. My wife is class of '97 under grad and class of '01 for grad school.. My father went there for undergrad and law school and my FIL taught medicine there for 27 years. Five diplomas between us all.

We took our son there a dozen times over the years since we live in Arlington. Did the official tour, and, I'll take heat for this, but he felt very out of place as the only white boy in the 20 person group. It came across more like a business presentation than a campus tour. So bland and uninteresting. Our son left completely underwhelmed. He applied anyway and was rejected, which floored us given the huge legacy.

So, screw Georgetown. They'll never see another dime from any of our families.

Try not to vacation in CA. And most schools out here, there is a real risk that he would find himself in similarly uncomfortable situations.

West cost schools tend to be waaaaaay whiter than east coast schools on the whole.

Uh, only if you consider Asian kids white.

Nope.

University of Oregon is 65% white and 6% Asian
University of Washington is 40% white and 20% Asian
Calpoly is 55% white and 17% Asian

All three are less than 4% black.

Like I said, they are white af.

Should we discuss which schools are “black/Hispanic/Middle Eastern af” or do you think that might be offensive?

Who are you trying to get away from? Black students? Indian students? Hispanic students ?

Sounds to me like the PP really hates white people.

I’m so sad this went off the rails - was enjoying it.

My kid hated UC Boulder. I was shocked. He literally said, "It's just a bunch of damn hippies." I loved the school, but it just wasn't his scene.

ND felt like a middle class country club in the middle of Indiana. which I guess it is?

Yale was insanely pretty.

Harvard needs to spend a tiny bit of their billions on landscaping. muddy, flooding, giant puddles and dirt for lawns. plaint some bushes, guys. add some drainage.

Notre Dame felt like a very Catholic school in the Midwest. Which it is. But a very nice campus with very nice kids.

WashU is the country club school. All that's missing is the golf carts.

Harvard is very underwhelming.

I still can’t figure out how the numbers presented in the one post , where huge percentages are NOT listed, prove the places are “too white”

How is 40% “too white”? I just don’t understand

Sorry, my stats brain can’t comprehend this

This was one of the most interesting and informative threads this forum has seen in years. Stop hijacking it with the racial stuff you tards.

Sorry - I swear I’m not trying to derail the thread. Considering the recent SCOTUS ruling, the numbers for students of color will likely drop And rising costs make it worse.

I would love to see better diversity at all schools, but it doesn’t happen overnight. And now the tide is against efforts to do so.

Found the JMU grad.

No, but please tell me which stats would actually make you happy? Also, please account for the huge percentages that went unlisted.

Ok, yes. I’m not the one who posted the stats. I’m just trying to figure out exactly what stat that person is hoping for. If the poster is black, then I get that these numbers aren’t good at all. If looking for a larger black student population is the plan, then obviously these aren’t the schools for them.

The US population is about 2/3 white. That is just a fact. It looked like Washington State itself is very similar.

I don’t want to argue. I’m just really side eyeing the stats as presented.
