<p>Well with regards to BC, it’s mostly middle-upper class white…I read that they’re really trying hard to get minorities. Does this not apply to Asians?</p>

<p>It’s hard to say. About 25% of the school is minority, defined as non-white as nearly as I can tell. They don’t seem to readily break that down any further. It is certainly possible that BC is having trouble attracting as many minority students as they would like. Maybe the Jesuit affiliation, I don’t know. But even if I knew, would it make a difference in your actions? Just apply and see what happens.</p>

<p>Yes, agreed.</p>
