<p>What are the best schools in the U.S. that are big on Affirmative Action? I know about Columbia University but what other great schools admit a lot of African Americans, as well? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>GPA? Test scores? Ability to afford tuition/expenses? Do you need the AA help or can you qualify for admission on merit?</p>
<p>Most top private colleges actively look for high achieving URM’s. Too many to list. But when you say ‘admit a lot’, do you mean more than what? More than the general population of AA’s? Define more than what benchmark if that is of concern to you.</p>

<p>^^ Interesting data. Too bad they didn’t also provide the 25/75 numbers.</p>
