<p>No. In fact, Caltech was notorious a few years back for not having any black freshmen.</p>
<p>^haha...so they don't have affirmative action. but i dont really like caltech anyways, the school's environment is said to be pretty bad because of the lack of diversity</p>
<p>Gender "diversity" there is probably the biggest issue...can you imagine that place? They really must start recruiting females. It's 75% male, after all.</p>
<p>Cal-Tech is a great school, though I don't know what the problems are about lack of diversity. As far as I know, everyone who goes there seems to love it and is very close-knit. In fact, many of them find the work environment more rigorous than at places like MIT, which, judging by long posts/arguments in the MIT forum, actively recruits minorities (AA's, Latinos, Nat. Americans, and women who don't fall in the last three categories)</p>
<p>Hmm... I wonder if gender>race at places like Caltech. Given two equally qualified applicants, an Asian female and a Hispanic male, who would they rather accept?</p>

<p>yea, i know but almost all the ones i know are whites and most of them are lawyers. ;)</p>
<p>i heard that caltech isn't very PC about their admission policy. it's one of the reasons why their SAT is so high.</p>
<p>SATs are racist, anyway.</p>
