<p>A woman from Agnes Scott just called me to inform me that I still have my SAT scores to send in to the school, and during this time she asked me what Agnes was in my list of schools. I said top 5, but honestly it might even be higher.. but I'm concerned about the diversity at the school, as I am Asian and from California, and according to stats online , there's only a 3% Asian student population at the school, so can anyone tell me how is the diversity at Agnes? Thanks.</p>
<p>What kind of diversity do you mean? Regional? Socio-economic? Ethnic? Religious? </p>
<p>I can only tell you our experience. My D liked Agnes Scott a lot and visited there. It was on her list for a long time. She is from the Northeast. We received phone calls from parents of other students from the Northeast (CT/NY/NJ), so there is some geographical diversity, but I believe half the students are from Georgia. African-American students are well-represented. I don’t know about religious diversity; it’s a Presbyterian school, but affiliated with the liberal branch of the church (PCUSA). The campus is very accessible to Atlanta by train, so what you don’t find on campus you can certainly find in the city. My D’s sense was while there was a certain contingent of upper-middle-class white girls from the South, there was not a pearls-and-twinset vibe on campus at all. My Jersey girl felt comfortable there.</p>
<p>I think I meant, how accepting and diverse is the campus or a strongly underrepresented minority at Agnes Scott. But thanks NJSue for your response :)</p>
<p>Any chance you could visit? I suspect no amount of posting here could answer your question the way a few hours on campus could. (Even if you found a poster here who was an Asian woman at Agnes Scott, if she came from a high school that had even fewer Asian kids, her experience would probably be unlike yours.)</p>
