+1. I'm class of '95. My wife is class of '97 under grad and class of '01 for grad school.. My father went there for undergrad and law school and my FIL taught medicine there for 27 years. Five diplomas between us all.

We took our son there a dozen times over the years since we live in Arlington. Did the official tour, and, I'll take heat for this, but he felt very out of place as the only white boy in the 20 person group. It came across more like a business presentation than a campus tour. So bland and uninteresting. Our son left completely underwhelmed. He applied anyway and was rejected, which floored us given the huge legacy.

So, screw Georgetown. They'll never see another dime from any of our families.[/quote]

Try not to vacation in CA.  And most schools out here, there is a real risk that he would find himself in similarly uncomfortable situations.[/quote]

West cost schools tend to be waaaaaay whiter than east coast schools on the whole.[/quote]

Uh, only if you consider Asian kids white.[/quote]

Nope.

University of Oregon is 65% white and 6% Asian
University of Washington is 40% white and 20% Asian
Calpoly is 55% white and 17% Asian

All three are less than 4% black.

Like I said, they are white af.

I agree that there is a problem with black enrollment.

But the schools are cherry picked.  Note that I said nothing about Oregon and Washington, only CA. Cal Poly is the CSU exception.  [/quote]

They are not cherry picked at all. Two of them are the flagship universities for two of the three states that make up "the west coast". The original point was west coast schools are whiter than east coast schools.

Anyway, I have no interest in arguing with a moron that can't understand the basic demographic differences between Tuscaloosa Alabama and Eugene Oregon.[/quote]

Actually, I said CA not west coast.

If I was black, I’d seriously consider sending my son to an SEC school over an UC one for the reason you mention.  And it is common for some families out here to send their kid to an HBCU.[/quote]

No one GAF lady. The point being debated was"

"West coast schools tend to be waaaaaay whiter than east coast schools on the whole."

West coast. Not California.
[/quote]

No, that was your thing.  My posts have always been about CA.  If others want to discuss the west coast with you, they can.  [/quote]
