[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"At Amherst College, 18.2 percent of this year’s freshman class is Black, the seventh time in the past eight years that the institution has led the nation’s liberal arts college in African-American enrollment. . Following Amherst College this year was Pomona College at 14.5 percent and Williams College at 13.1 percent....Harvey Mudd College had the highest percentage increase in that period, with the number of Black freshman at the college climbing from 12 in 2014 to 28 this year, a 133.3 percent increase. Trinity College was second in recent gains at 60 percent and Haverford College was third with a 56.5 percent increase."

+1 to this post. My African-American son is a senior and wasn't interested in an HBCU. Also grew up in DMV privates and neighborhoods with mostly wealthy white but close friends mostly (75%?) Black.

I encouraged HBCU (really only Morehouse or Howard but he had no interest). So the next was all the above top schools with significant Black populations. In addition to above, we looked at Oberlin and Bard.[/quote]
