Rutgers. Diverse school with students from all over the world. If you follow the USNews ranking, it is on a par with V-Tech. Football is pathetic, but basketball is decent, if your kid is into sports.

I think this is a good list, especially Drexel, Temple and Rutgers. You could visit them all in one weekend trip. (Assuming visits resume or you're cool with just walking around campus.)

Villanova is very white, Catholic, and hard to get into.

70% white, 10% AA, 6.5% Hispanic.

But, the president is an AA woman, the admin counselor we met with is an AA grad and one of our guides was AA. So I think their diversity score might be trending up.


ha!
That's just putting a few faces in the window - that's not a true reflection of the diversity of the student body.


Here’s another “face in the window. Clearly SMCM is making efforts to increase diversity.

There aren’t so many African-American students in the Southwest, but the Cal State campuses in Southern California as well as the public universities in Arizona and New Mexico are significantly to majority Hispanic. UNLV could also be worth a look.

I think it’s a high school troller. On every single college post. (At least I hope so. Otherwise quite a lame dullard.) Anyway, got it, kid—funny funny. Move on. 😃👍

Not with a mediocre GPA.


I was thinking U of Rochester, but when I looked at demographics it is not as racially diverse as I thought.

NP. U Roch undergrads are 26% international, 5% black, 7% Hispanic, 11% Asian, 42% white. That is a fairly large international percentage, which does provide a more diverse flavor. Our tour guide was an international student from Africa, for example (black).

I did not see OP's stats, so can't comment on that.

If this is for a senior, the RD deadline was extended to this Wed. There's still time.
