[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is diversity a "plus factor" when applying to a foreign university?  Which foreign universities have affirmative action programs?[/quote]

I doubt it. All schools I am familiar with look and grades and tests only.[/quote]

I find that hard to believe.  How can these schools assemble a diverse environment without some system for leveling the playing field?[/quote]

They level the playing field by being dirt cheap compared to American ones, so that anyone who wants to learn and contribute can do so.  Many top universities are free or close to free.[/quote]

But are they diverse?  The benefits of diversity are undeniable  http://ideas.time.com/2013/12/03/women-on-corporate-boards-do-they-make-men-that-uncomfortable/

I spent time at two of the top European universities and they were lily white. [/quote]

Big, fat BS. Most European universities are much more diverse socioeconomically and culturally than American ones. The "time" you spent there was probably as an arrogant tourist and, surprise surprise, you found what you deserve.[/quote]  you skipped racial diversity - wonder why?  Where are the people of color?  The Roma for example?[/quote]
