<p>Dartmouth is more diverse than Princeton and Brown?</p>
<p>what are you on?</p>
<p>By percent of students who are minorities. Dartmouth has been more diverse than all the schools I mentioned since the class of 2003 (Dartmouth was 30.3% minority then, Brown 29.7%, Princeton 27%), although for the first ime in half a decade this year is different (2010) since Pton had a big boost in Minority yield. Dartmouth hasn't had a class with less than 30% minority since the class of 2002.</p>
<p>Academics : Throw a dice cuz it's a wash
Diversity: URM --> Columbia, Asians --> Stanford</p>
<p>Hmm...I was going by what the school websites had to say. Usually, the schools update them every year. -_____-</p>
<p>Dartmouth:</p>
<p>Students of Color comprise 27.4% of the undergraduate body
6.2% African-American students
12% Asian American students
6.3% Latino/a students
2.9% Native American students </p>
<p>~73% White </p>
<p>Brown:</p>
<p>About 28% of undergrads are people of color.
~72% white </p>
<p>Princeton:</p>
<p>Nonresident aliens (international) = 423 = 8.88%
Black = 403 = 8.46%
American Indian or Alaska Native = 37 = .777%
Asian or Pacific Islander = 623 = 13.08%
Hispanic = 325 = 6.82%
White, non-Hispanic = 2950 = 61.96%
Total 4761</p>
<p>Bookfreak, those Dartmouth stats are old (Dartmouth needs to update the webpage!!) and are a from 2004 when the Dartmouth class of 2001-2004 was on campus (2002 was a low year with 23% minority). That site also says its 51/49 male female when now its the opposite. I have the stats in a pdf given to interviewers from the admissions office right here in front of me, every single class following the class of 2003 is over 30% minority. Adding the totals from the Dartmouth classes of 2006-2010 Dartmouth is 30.6% minority and 7.2% international. </p>
<p>Also, you include international in the princeton number (which Pton does in a shady manner....Dartmouth is over 7% international as well but they do not include it in the minority stats...if you include that number Dartmouth is about 38-39%). </p>
<p>SO the point is that Dartmouth is more diverse or equally diverse than these schools. WHAT gets me personally is that people view Dartmouth as a non-diverse school when that is COMPLETELY outdated viewpoint. Also, did you know that 84% of Dartmouth students voted for Kerry in 2004? so much for a conservative "white" school. Its a tragedy that the 80s image persists.</p>
<p>So Dartmouth isn't "at all close" to Pton in terms of minority enrollment? The stats beg to differ. "What am I on" Diamond? I am on a quest to stop misinformation!!</p>
<p>More recent Dartmouth stats posted here, taken from PR. </p>
<p>As I said, its a travesty people view D as "far less diverse" when in fact it can be argued it is more diverse than these other schools.</p>
<p>Diamond and bookfreak, </p>
<p>Actually if you don't mind me asking why did you think Dartmouth was less diverse than these other schools. D has been very diverse (and very liberal) for years, but I have a feeling its reputation from the 80s still lingers in certain places (particularly places ot on the east coast).</p>
