<p>you seem to have great stats but it seems as a general rule if you are white and live in MA..they most likely won't take you. They are VERY diverse and seem to take the majority of the whites from the midwest. They seem to try really hard to break away from the "rich white girl school" and they want to make it into a mentling pot of all these various clutures. ( which they have done very well) Less than half the people admitted are white.</p>
