<p>Please, do me a favor and check what was the percentage of whites in Howard University (DC) last year. Thank you.</p>

<p>I have the 2007 edition and for Howard University it lists: 0 percent American Indian, 1 percent Asian, 90 percent black, 1 percent Hispanic, 0 percent white, 9 percent international. </p>

<p>Quite a big jump to the 2008 edition, which lists 8 percent white, 7 percent international, 84 percent black and no change on American Indian and Asian. The percentage from in-state also dropped, from 12 percent in the 2007 edition to 7 percent in 2008.</p>

<p>Where did all those white people come from? That's so random! Are they lying or something? Or did they change their recruting techniques?</p>

<p>I went there in July and saw a total of 1 white person.</p>

<p>Nothing prohibits white students from attending a historically black college. </p>

<p>Whether they get preference in admissions isn't a question I can answer. At some HBCUs, maybe they do. HBCUs, however, do not have as one of their aims the provision of a racially diverse environment for their black students. My guess is that their admissions preferences, if any, would extend to other kinds of diversity.</p>

Possibly. NC Central (HBCU) came to my school and offered me a scholarship, stipend, computer, etc. NCCU is public, though, and it may have different aims than a private school like Howard or Spelman.</p>
