<p>kwu presumes that because columbia desires to be the most diverse it must be most willing to accept students of color regardless of their qualifications. </p>
<p>i know that isn’t true, but to spin it a bit - perhaps this means that more talented minority students apply to columbia than their peers because it has that reputation of supporting students from diverse backgrounds. and further - in 20-30 years when the country is minority majority country, i imagine a school like columbia might have a lot of its alumni in leadership positions as we begin to actually and not limitedly diversify our leadership in every respect.</p>
