[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dovetails on Princeton claiming 70% of their freshman class are "non-white" minorities. Rich liars playing the system.[/quote]

Really! Hate to predict their size of endowment 10 years from now.  First gen or URM are not likely to be billionaires after getting their degrees.  Who will pay?[/quote]

Nothing will change because 70% of the incoming class is NOT non-white.[/quote]
You have proof to back up your claim? The VAST majority of students at top schools are white and Asian so not sure where you’re getting your info from. [/quote]

I’m the PP— I didn’t make the claim that 70% of the incoming Princeton class is non-white. My point is that if Princeton is making this claim it isn’t true. Many of the kids are lying.[/quote]

Interesting— if you add the POC percentages reported by Princeton it adds up to 48%, which included Asian Americans. If you add international students it is 60%. Am I missing something!? 70%, hmmm

You are looking at the students who enrolled, not the students who were admitted. Also, the denominator for the percentages you are adding up is all enrolled students in that class, not students who are US citizens or permanent residents.[/quote]
