This was meant for OP.


Atleast 15-20%. I think diversity is important and not just for her own comfort and safety.


The problem is that you aren't going to find it at any college except the very elite. And there, being Asian is not a benefit.
This is entirely due to Asians only being 6% of the college age population and the average Asian preference for only looking at elite schools. The best you can do is look in geographic areas with greater Asian density such as California or Hawaii. Having 15 to 20% Asian isn't diversity; it's over-representation.


UMD has 16% asians , 51% white, other races are also a good percentage. However, its too big for my DD and she doesnt have the stats for UMD
