Ding Ding Ding. And T25s that are overtly diverse like Emory, USC, NYU, CMU etc get devalued.

Emory 29.9% Asian and the majority of the students are not from GA or even the Southeast…definitely not reflective of GA’s demographics (and does not have engineering).

I got turned off when I found out Prez has to be Christian.

Wow! I am not loving that either. It’s icky and makes the school seem less academically serious

Can christians not be academic?

If a school is a religiously affiliated school, I don’t think that would offend me

Huh?

I think PP was saying there are only 2% Asian in the student body, whatever that means.
I don't think it's due to the "whiteness" or "rich white" as pointed out multiple times.
I think it's due to the location of two schools.

UVa Asian %: 19%
W&M Asian %: 11%
VTech Asian %: 12%
UNC-CH Asian %: 15%
GTech Asian %: 33%

Wake Asian %: 5%
Davidson Asian %: 6%

Engineering

What about it? Wake has an engineering program.

And William & Mary does not.

So schools aren't allowed to be religiously affiliated anymore? Davidson is a religiously affiliated private college. If that isn't for you, look elsewhere, but don't be offended.

They weren't offended. they quite literally did the research on the college and found out it wasn't for them. You are the sensitive one.

Only 3% of North Carolina is Asian. Seems concerning that UNC is so predominately asian, clearly not representing their state. Good on Wake and Davidson.

This is crazy. What is all this supposed to mean? GA Tech is public but Georgia isn’t 33% Asian. Emory is private with a high percentage of Asian students. I thought the private colleges were all about the “fit” not about mirroring the demographics of their respective states.

Those are conversations that other people engage in, not me. Higher education of all kinds has a responsibility in mirroring the demographics of their regions, because we provide them financial incentives to take up space and economic opportunity in exchange for jobs, healthcare, education, etc. You can argue all day that these are private institutions that can do what they want, but the money that goes from our pockets to theirs states otherwise. "Fit" should not be a way of gauging certain races in higher ed, but as a means of "do the values you exhibit in your application align with ours." For small schools like Davidson, this is easy; but for less homogenous spaces like UNC, there should be much consideration about the importance of diversity of experiences and not a 1-size-fits-all fit factor.

RE: Wake. Everyone i know who goes there fits this description. I don't know Davidson.

Aren’t you lovely. Does it make you fell better to insult a bunch of teenagers as a big bad anonymous stranger. Neither Winston Salem nor Wake itself is particularly conservative and the kids are definitely smart.
