[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"50% POC (excluding Asians)"?

What is the source for this alleged statistic re Pomona?[/quote]

The source is Pomona:

https://www.pomona.edu/about/profile-who-goes-pomona

33.4% white
18.8% Asian

52.2% white and Asian (50% being a reasonable rounding)

17.3% Hispanic
11.3% international
9.4%. Black
6% biracial
2.9% “unknown”
.9% Indian/Pacific Islander

47.8% not white and Asian Us students

Now, the “international” number certainly includes white and Asian. They have 42 kids total from China, so they take 10 a year.  5 from Korea, so they take 1.   19 from Indian, so they take 5. But, 4 from Rawanda, 4 from Ethiopia, so one each from these countries.  2 from Kenya so one every other year. Small number each from middle eastern countries. It’s weird they separate internationals out as a “race”  But, they aren’t all going to white aAsian Internations. And, they aren’t slots going to to white and Asian kids in the DMV.

Also, 26%  1st Gen or low income

They take about half their kids ED.

464 kids from CA. (!!!)
20 kids from MD
23 from VA
11 from DC

At the school now (so divide by 4 for the number per class)

Half of MDs and VAs kids are likely from other parts of the state.  So, 2-3 will be white or Asian from each of DC, Md, VA in the DMV, and some of of those will likely be fist Gen/pell grant.

I will stand by the statement that it’s a lottery school in the DMV. No matter how amazing your kid is, they are filling narrow slots.
