<p>Penn has the most Jews percentage-wise in the Ivy League</p>
<p>Princeton apparently has the lowest- only 14%</p>
<p>Cool! Nice to see an Ivy that doesn't have issues with -- gasp! -- the dreaded overrepresented minorities</p>
<p>The real URM at Penn is white Christian males. If you are from a "non-diverse" place where almost everyone is white and Christian, prepare to have your basic assumptions challenged (e.g that "everyone" celebrates Christmas) and be prepared to learn what it feels like to be a minority. </p>
<p>If Penn doesn't exactly "look like America" ( Jews and Asians disproportionately represented) it does look like the future elite circles (law firms, big city hospitals, i-banks, college faculties, etc.) that most graduates end up in, so it will be a good introduction to what your future work environment will be like.</p>
<p>I think Dartmouth is in fact the lowest of the Ivies, with about 11%.</p>
<p>Nothing new for me. I may be Indian male, but my class demographics have been between 25 and 50% Jewish since 1st grade and about 25% Asian (maybe 35% in middle school). I still wish all my Jewish brothers a Merry Christmas and they all shake their heads.</p>
<p>Ungst was being sarcastic/making a joke...have you seen Borat?</p>
<p>I have been around Jews my entire life, but that was the first time I saw their true form (remember the cockroach scene) ;)</p>
<p>ungst is clearly too ignorant and uneducated to become successful in the world. it is a shame that he spends his time making stupid remarks on college posts instead being a normal person. I think he should be banned from this site</p>
<p>LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL It was a joke. From Borat. A very funny, recent movie.</p>
<p>I'm not hating on jews. My cousins are Jewish. My friend is Jewish. Spend a little less time on CC and get out, watch some movies, and get a sense of humor.</p>

<p>Whoah. My school (in southern VA) has two members of the Jewish faith in a class of about 400. </p>
<p>Now let's line up some statistics. According to [CollegeBoard[/url</a>] and multiplied by the 9,841 undergraduates:</p>
<p><1% American Indian/Alaskan Native == < 98
17% Asian/Pacific Islander == 1673
7% Black/Non-Hispanic == 689
6% Hispanic == 590
47% White/Non-Hispanic == 4625
9% Non-Resident Alien == 885.7
13% Race/ethnicity unreported == 1279</p>
<p>I'm going to make two assumptions here. (A) The Race/ethnicity unreported and the non-resident Alien is proportionally spread across all racial groups [which it most likely isn't, because some people fear that reporting their race may reflect negatively upon them] and (B) Most of the Jewish students identified themselves with the "white" racial category [which isn't always the case; occasionally you'll find a black/hispanic/asian/etc. who is Jewish]</p>
<p>So, after taking out the unreported race and redistributing, we find that:
1% American Indian/Alaskan Native == 98
22% Asian/Pacific Islander == 2165
9% Black/Non-Hispanic == 887
8% Hispanic == 787
60% White/Non-Hispanic == 5905</p>
<p>[url=<a href="http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/applying/profile.php%5DThe">http://www.admissionsug.upenn.edu/applying/profile.php]The</a> University of Pennsylvania's website](<a href="http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?match=true&collegeId=1464&type=qfs&word=university%20of%20pennsylvania%5DCollegeBoard%5B/url">http://apps.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?match=true&collegeId=1464&type=qfs&word=university%20of%20pennsylvania) backs this up, with numbers of the incoming class:</p>
<p>9% Black == 212
8% Hispanic == 188<br>
24% Asian == 564<br>
<1% American Indian == 11<br>
41% Total == 975</p>
<p>So these numbers match up pretty well.</p>
<p>Anyways, back on topic. 5905 white undergrads, 3000 of them are Jewish. So 2905 non-Jewish whites, which means that at the University of Pennsylvania, half of whites are Jewish. And that leaves Jewish people with about a 30.5% representation overall and non-Jewish whites with a 29.5% representation at the University. Whoah.</p>
<p>I'm Jewish...I guess this makes it harder for me to get in? I watched Borat, by the way, it was more than hilarious. :D I think it actually exposes anti-semitism in America, and how people are willing to go along with him. In the scene with the well (not in the movie, in the TV series), he gets a whole bar to start singing "throw the Jew down the well." And in the texas gun shop, he asks "What is best gun to defend against Jew?" and without hestitation, the shopkeeper recommends a 9mm glock. :D </p>
<p>Its really funny, and Sacha Baron Cohen is Jewish himself. One of my teachers was his room mate at Cambridge, so he goes out drinking with him often.</p>
<p>heh, i'm that one jew out of like five in my entire school of two thousand...
i love penn.</p>
<p>ive always wondered what white jews were like... actually, white people in general b/c i only ever see them on TV and in magazines and stuff.
cool.</p>
<p>Follow up, that guy reported my post hence why it was deleted.</p>
<p>I'm guessing that data is really skewed. 3,000 is a very inexact number that hints to rounding. If they talked to 10 people at Penn, and 3 said they were jewish, they could extrapolate that. And it also makes me wonder what the question was like. Did they simply ask the admissions office? Probably not, as they very likely wont have on tab the religous affiliation of all students. Was it a questionaire, asking religous affiliation? If so, I'm guessing a lot of students wouldn't respond. And even so, many could responds "Jewish" or "Christian" because they go to church on easter or temple during passover and never any other time of year. And this study is done by an extremely biased source. </p>
<p>I wouldn't be surprised if they got their data from a questionaire that looked like this:</p>
<p>4 Jewish
6 Christian
2 Athiest</p>
<p>And They could say a third of students at Penn were Jewish.</p>
<p>a minority of people celebrating christmas? hmmm thats kinda scary...i can't name anyone who I know right now that doesnt celebrate christmas</p>
<p>Just because 30% is Jewish, does not mean that about 60% of the whole school does not celebrate Christmas. Most of the atheists, buddhists, hindus, etc. all celebrate Christmas. I might even dare to say that the only people in American that don't celebrate Christmas are Jewish.</p>
<p>That is very true. Chistmas has become less about religion and more like family and gifts.</p>
<p>good, i got a thing for jewish girls anyways....</p>
