Diversity

<p>Is there an abnormally large percentage of Asians at Rice compared to other top-tier schools/ivies? Or is it pretty consistent with the other schools?</p>

<p>From the stats I’ve seen it’s somewhere around the 15% to 17% rate.</p>

<p>I though it was around 25-30% of the student body were Asians</p>

<p>I feel like probably a lower percent asian, and a larger percent hispanic. Then again, this is just a guess, I haven’t taken the time to look up any stats.</p>

<p>Why are you asking?</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter. It is just a question…</p>

<p>The statistics are pretty easy to find:</p>

<p>Even 30% of the student body being Asians wouldn’t make it less diverse. You’re gonna be seeing at least 50% white people anyway.</p>

<p>Except it’s not 50% white people, it’s 39% according to the link ScienceGirlMom posted above</p>

<p>Well, 39% is still more than the percentage of Asians required for non-Asians to think it wasn’t diverse anymore.</p>
