[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My take, based of nothing more than a 3 year unhealthy obsession watching college admissions trends as we helped our 25 and 26 grad-

MAGA made diversity a bad word. Unlike corporations who dropped DEI like a hot potatoe and probably never really cared about it either way, colleges actually do prefer a more diverse class. So socioeconomic diversity was the quick front runner to replace ethnic diversity. They thought they’d get a similar result but in a MAGA compliant way.

But the application drop didn’t happen. And they’re at risk of losing funding for any number of reasons, so full pay students are suddenly most attractive.

Good intentions but no actual changes this cycle.

I’m talking about it all colleges, not just UVA.  Maybe next cycle [b]socioeconomic diversity[/b] will be the hot thing. People said a [b]rural zip code would be the hook[/b] so maybe that will come true. [/quote]

Geographic diversity has been a thing forever. At least since the 80s.

And first gen has also been a huge "hook" in recent years.
