[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forget the press release and look at the actual numbers from the data, available here:
https://www.amherst.edu/about/facts/secondary_school_reports/class-of-2029-admission-and-enrollment-profile

Black 6%
Asian 12%
Latinx 16%
Multiracial 11%
White 40%
Did not report 6%
International 10%

Note: most internationals are Asian, most do not reports are Asian, and many of the multiracial category.

How can you be certain they are Asian?  Is that merely a guess? [/quote]

Very few international Asian.  [b]Also not attractive to tech immigrants' kids.[/b]  LACs are mostly for whites and third or fourth generation Asians.  The LAC whiners on DCUM are just whites. [/quote]

You are correct that the top SLACs aren't attractive to tech immigrant families, but that is due to a lack of awareness. I live in the bay area and as awareness grows it is changing, especially for those looking for medical careers. The Val at a top private last year turned down UCLA and UCB for Williams last year. Another top 10 kid in the class chose Middelbury over the same schools. Both are looking to med school.[/quote]

Big Deal. They had $$ and wanted to experience a new part of the country. Williams is isolated in no man’s land with half athletes. You need a 3.994 to be cum laude at UCLA. Easier to stand out at Williams.[/quote]
