[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, our URM/POC child declined last year. Rich kids from Jersey vibe, seemed kind of defensive about diversity.  [/quote]

I've been to a lot of college tours and every single one starts out with a slide about how much they love love love diversity and they want more of it. (Then you look around the room and everyone in the tour is white or Asian.) Wonder what it was about Richmond that made you think their obligatory "we love diversity" shtich was more fake than anywhere else.[/quote]

Only 60% white.  You might not want to say that again.  Perhaps only white could afford to go to the college tour. https://www.richmond.edu/about/consumer-info/diversity.html[/quote]

Are you trying to prove my point? The PP said Richmond was somehow racist and their commitment to diversity seemed fake in some way, but I sure didn’t see it when I was there.

As for URMs being unable to go on college tours, waah waah waah cry me a river.[/quote]

The point as to 60% white was to use statistics to prove that OP (claiming only whites on tour - same as the troll on the Wake Forest page) is wrong, lying or trying to stir the pot.  U of Richmond has the same demographics as all the other privates.  There's no story here as there is no story about Wake Forest. People are pot-stirring at this time of year or trying to get even with institutions that didn't accept their kids.  If someone says something histrionic and the data says otherwise, follow the data or do your own research.[/quote]
