<p>I'm wondering if anyone knows, off the top of their head, some schools that have more than the typical say, 3-5% Asians in the school. Without mentioning Ivies, do you know schools in the Northeast area that is well populated with Asians?</p>
<p>CollegeBoard would help - 3-5% is a very low density of Asians at any school, so you shouldn't have trouble finding them.</p>
<p>Not the Northeast, but Berkeley in the West has like 45% Asians...</p>
<p>M.I.T. comes to mind. NYU as well.</p>
<p>Boston Uni</p>
<p>UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCI all have at least 40% Asians.</p>
<p>Not in the Northeast but University of Hawaii at Manoa has 78% students of Asian descent. University of Washington is 25% Asian American.</p>
<p>Check out the Princeton Review Guide book or their web site. They list percentages of Asian-American students in each school's description.
Heres a few examples: U of Chicago 15%, Drexel 14%, NE 7%, GW 9%, BU 13%, BC 9%, NW 17%, UVA 11%, NYU 14% </p>
<p>Keep in mind many schools also have a large % of internationals and one can assume that a large no. of those will be from Asian countries. As a rule of thumb its seems city schools generally have a larger percentage of Asians and internationals with suburban and rural LACS having the smaller ranges such as Lehigh 6% and Lafayette 2%, Colby 5%, Colgate 6%.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that 5% of a large school is way different than the same percentage of a small college.</p>
<p>Almost any top university will have a high percentage of Asians. (Ivies, Duke, UMich, UNC, Georgetown ... just look at the CC's top colleges)</p>
<p>Other Scools ... </p>
<p>Rutgers (A ton)
Penn State (A ton)
UC's (Too many to count)
BC (About ~10%)
BU (About ~15%)
NYU (17%)</p>
<p>Many of the UC's have like 38% Asians. I went to visit UC Davis this Saturday and saw how they definitely make up a lot of the population</p>
<p>why are you all mentioning UC's when he specifically said Northeast?</p>
<p>no liberal arts colleges with the exception of Swarthmore</p>
<p>Thank you for all your feedbacks. =)</p>
<p>Wesleyan has 10%. Don't know if that's a lot or not....</p>
<p>Duke's c/o 2010 was 25% asian</p>

<p>Nope, wrong. Northern women's colleges (the Seven Sisters colleges) are ranked within the top twenty-six LACs in the nation. Wellesley is roughly 1/4 Asian, Barnard is 17% Asian and Smith and Mount Holyoke are both at 11/12%. </p>
<p>Also, sort of random: how is Princeton "only" 13% Asian? You'd think more Asian students would be accepted and want to be there. The percentage of African-American students there is a close 9% which is cool, but compared to the black-Asian ratio of students at other elite colleges, that's really sort of "few" Asians and a lot of African-Americans. Does Princeton have some sort of interesting policy concerning affirmative action? Compare to Harvard (8% black, 18% Asian), Penn (7% b, 18% A), Stanford (10% b, 24% A), Cornell (5% b, 16% A), Northwestern (5% b, 17% A) and like Cal Tech (1% black, 33% Asian) and MIT (6% black, 27% Asian). </p>
<p>And since we're on the topic of Asians in universities: how're there so many Asians at Southern universities UT-Austin and Emory (both 17-18% Asian)? I thought the Asian population in the South is like zilch, but then I'm jaded being from SoCal.</p>
<p>Also, Princeton is generally so white at 62%. A large number of top tier schools have white percentages at like below 50%.</p>
<p>Davidson and Wake Forest have like 2% and 4% respectively...not too many there.</p>
<p>Wow okay Princeton needs more diversity........................</p>
