<p>I come from a Cuban background, does vanderbilt like minorities?</p>
<p>Wherever you go, there will be good and bad people. I think there is a general atmosphere of acceptance at Vanderbilt. I have two chidren there and we are of Dominican heritage. They are both having a great experience and are very happy with their decision to attend. Since my oldest has started there, the school has made an effort to attract minorities and there has been a difference in the school make-up (at least in my perception). They both have felt very welcome and part of the larger community.</p>
<p>It should help you get into the school, if that’s what you’re asking, though it’s a stupid reason to admit anyone.</p>
<p>falalalafun, I completely agree. I think it should be illegal to put race/ethnicity anywhere on a college application. Regardless of original intentions, now it just helps encourage reverse racism.</p>
<p>^^ you can thank affirmative action for that one.</p>
<p>I’m an Asian who was admitted, and as ungrateful and heretical as I may sound (don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful), I gotta agree with you.</p>
<p>I will be the first to say that I don’t find it right to admit someone of lower academic ability due to race. I was simply asking if Vanderbilt since being in the South had a negative look on minorities.</p>
<p>If you’re one of those aristocratic cubans who believes that Fulgencio Batista was a great leader you’ll be great. I’ve met a few on campus.</p>
