[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, did you know that in the younger generation, whites are about 30%, maybe even less.  So, actually, those numbers reflect the CA demographic.  CA does not represent the whole of the US. Please educate yourself:

Yes! I was going to say the same thing.  California schools are very diverse! sorry if this bothers you. Don't go there.

Pomona takes the lowest percentage of in-state students of any California college or university. When less than a quarter of students are from California, one can't just look to the California demographics to see what is representative. [/quote]

give it up OP. 55% of kids born in the US in 2000 were white. Add in white international students and the demographics of California (for the still significant % of California admits) and the numbers are reasonable. Plus, you have no idea what the actual applicant pool looks like - perhaps it is more heavily nonwhite than the overall nation. You don't have automatic privilege anymore, sorry not sorry.[/quote]

Show me any elite school that has 56.7% domestic students of color, and I'll believe you.

According to the most recent CDS-
Williams: 49% domestic, white only (white in later % refers to this)
Davidson: 68% white
Washington and Lee: 84% white
Colorado College: 63% white
Bowdoin:  63% white
Middlebury: 63% white
Carleton: 60% white
Wesleyan: 55% white
Yale: 45% white
Dartmouth: 50% white
Princeton: 44% white
Swarthmore/Amherst: 43% white
Brown: 43% white
Pomona: 36% white

See the exception? Pomona is not getting that different of an applicant pool from all of those top colleges and universities.
