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

You’re picking and choosing with this data. The Wellesley stats (if read correctly) show that it has the second highest percentage of students in the bottoms 20%. Also keep in mind the stats where it is 2 times as many is 11% to 6.5%. Not that huge. [/quote]

top 1%, 11%. Top 20% 59%. Bottom 20%, 6.5%. The majority of students are wealthy with a smattering of poor kids thrown in [/quote]
I guess you think $140k is substantial f u money, because that's the top 20% income. 41% of students making under that pretty normal amount for a household of two parents making a little above the median us income is not outrageous.[/quote]

It's top 20%. Reasonable people would consider top 20% to be better off than 80% of the population. [/quote]
yes, and reasonable people also don't think making 70k as an individual is outrageous or makes you in some elite social class.[/quote]
