[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as reach-schools, what percentage of the college are BIPOCs, and is diversity likely to sway your child’s decision? [/quote]

It will probably sway my kid's decision. Her public HS school is extremely diverse...Black (20%), White (30%), Hispanic (25%), Asian (20%), 2+ and other (5%). Numbers are rounded estimates.

As she's considering at schools, she's looking at the diversity numbers & definitely notices on visits to universities.[/quote]

Does she count skinny vs fat? Our public HS is about 60% overweight and my daughter wants to be around people who won't silently judge her for having a preference. [/quote]

What a ridiculous statement! How would one even know bodyweight stats? Ethnic diversity stats are published in our school district.

She has friends across each of the groups & wants to continue making friends who aren't only white.[/quote]

:roll:  Obviously, the PP was being sarcastic - and spot on.  As for "ethnic diversity stats," they should stop publishing those.  People are people.[/quote]
