[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some of the LACs that attracts diverse students? And of those what are some that are more intellectually inclined?

Thanks[/quote]

Define diversity. Do you mean race, do you mean a certain race? Are you talking about economic diversity? Geographic? [/quote]
[b]What is "certain race" diversity? [/b]
Also this shuffles the same 4 or 5 LACs no matter which one you apply.[/quote]

Diversity can mean all races or diversity can decides that Asians aren't actually part of a diverse campus (i.e. the type that got Harvard sued) [/quote]
Name a campus that is diverse that doesn't have Asian Americans as the highest percentage of students of color. I guess this makes sense if you avoid the big Asian population at Harvard too...[/quote]

Drop out of the top colleges and you get there. If you want a good mix or poor middle class and rich and a good mix of all races, you're dropping way further down the list than schools DCUM finds acceptable [/quote]
Most colleges outside of the top colleges are non competitive. You're asking for elite schools that accept everybody...[/quote]

OP said LAC not SLAC [/quote]
The SLAC's are still economically, racially, and geographically most diverse...[/quote]

that doesn't look very economically diverse to me [/quote]
No one mentioned Williams...[/quote]

Someone mentioned Wellesley, almost as twice as many students from the top 1% as bottom 20%

Amherst, over 4 times as many kids from the top 1% as bottom 20

I do like that you conveniently ignore the part of this data that shows Wellesley as 2nd for its share of students in the bottom 5th. Pretty significant stat to ignore. Not every college is the early rendition of Eton College and only houses low income students-in fact, that is the OPPOSITE of economic diversity.[/quote]
