<p>Someone said that Gtown considers hispanics in the caucasian category, is that true? Also do they put Arabs and Persians in the caucasian category? (Because once when we were taking the SAT my teacher randomly had the Arab kids check "white" for race, which I thought was odd.)</p>
<p>Arabs are, in general, considered to be "white" on things like the SAT. What else could they be? Pacific islander?</p>
<p>arabs could be considered east asian, i guess.</p>

<p>There is an "other" category on the SAT.</p>
<p>im paki/mex
so...i guess im brown too....
and i'm debating between Gtown and UC Berkeley
but im only brown onn the surface, im pretty sure im whitewashed after living in SoCal all my life</p>
<p>paki/mex wow thats such an interesting mixture</p>
<p>Georgetown, Stanford and Columbia are very diverse.</p>
<p>wth kind of a designation is "brown"? How can you lump persians, indians, mexicans, and hispanics altogether??? Why would you care?</p>
<p>exactly, senior200610. it doesn't really matter.</p>
<p>i wish being brown didn't matter
and that everyone would realize that it doesn't
and i think categories bite anyways they just cause too much separation
and not to sound too corny/ patriotic, but "United we stand, Divided we fall"
and unless Gtown is honestly that bad, i think we'll all be ok, diverse, or not diverse,
with brown people or not.</p>

<p>I said brown to signify all people of color, so african americans this means you too! And I don't think we will all be ok "diverse or not diverse," because I for one do not want to go to school that lacks ethnic diversity.</p>
<p>gtown is one of the most ethinically diverse schools in the country, from what i know. maybe not in terms of social class, but yea , in terms of ethnic diversity, im pretty sure the uni is way up there.</p>
<p>im a person of color. Kind of light beige, turns a little darker on the beach...</p>
<p>ugh why does having a colorful student body even matter? Diversity of experiences, not skin color i say</p>
<p>Hell id rather see geographical diversity than black/white diversity</p>
<h2>Just look at the numbers:</h2>
<p>Gtown</p>
<p><1% American Indian/Alaskan Native
8% Asian/Pacific Islander
8% Black/Non-Hispanic
8% Hispanic
65% White/Non-Hispanic
3% Non-Resident Alien </p>
<h2>7% Race/ethnicity unreported </h2>
<p>Columbia</p>
<p>53% Women
47% Men
1% American Indian/Alaskan Native
14% Asian/Pacific Islander
10% Black/Non-Hispanic
11% Hispanic
47% White/Non-Hispanic
6% Non-Resident Alien </p>
<h2>12% Race/ethnicity unreported </h2>
<p>There are more "brown" people at Columbia, and the difference in diversity is significant.</p>
<p>Columbia is more highly regarded than Georgetown College, and the disparity in the poli sci departments is not significant. Columbia also has the UN main headquarters nearby, which is an excellent resource for internships. There are plenty of political opportunities in NYC, though DC does have more.</p>
<p>Political activism is highly present on both campuses. I think that, since available politics internships to the student are fairly close, I'd choose Columbia due to name recognition, better grad school placement, more fun things to do in NYC, bigger name professors in more departments, and substantially more resources(such as library)/endowment.</p>
<p>If it were SFS, it may be a different story, and it really depends on how hardcore you want to get into politics. If you want a more highly regarded and well-rounded education, which includes many classes taught by HUGE name professors in poli sci, then Columbia is better.</p>
<p>If you are 100% sure you want to be a diplomat, go to Gtown.</p>
