Schools that want Asians

<p>Are there any good, top schools that are trying to recruit more Asians into their student body? The best guess would probably be at the smaller liberal arts schools, but any suggestions?</p>

<p>Yes, small, rural liberal arts colleges are interested in Asians. I would recommend looking at colleges along the lines of Haverford, Swarthmore, etc.</p>

<p>Wow. Swarthmore would want more Asians? I'm surprised.</p>

<p>SUNY Stony Brook</p>

<p>Not a “top” school, but I know that University of Oregon wants to become more diverse.</p>

<p>The first sentence is good, but the second is a non-sequitur as Haverford and Swarthmore are not rural. They are in suburban Philadelphia and get plenty of Asians. </p>

<p>The small rural category I would put Hamilton, Kenyon, Skidmore, Colby, Holyoke. Williams is also rural, but it's questionable whether they have any trouble recruiting Asian applicants.</p>

<p>Also Asian is a big category. North and South Asians are fairly well represented; Southeast Asians less so.</p>

<p>^^ really? I'd've thought Southeast Asians (Indians, Pakis, etc.) would be just as represented as the other Asians.</p>

<p>Indians are well represented, but philippinos are not... so I think they get AA. Correct me if I'm wrong. Do vietnamese get AA too? just curious...</p>

<p>It drives me nuts when people make no distinction between different asian cultures. My xenophobic roommates still perceive campus as "overrun by asians", although it's really filled with people from extremely different ethnic groups they're missing out on the acquaintance of.</p>

<p>University of Notre Dame perhaps? Last time I checked it was 6% asian only -- and I guess asians are considered underrepresented there?</p>

<p>I got in with decent stats EA and the competition was fierce this year...so maybe.</p>

<p>Yea, the rural liberal arts college isn't necessarily a good idea. Williams, for example, has more than sufficient numbers of asians..</p>

<p>But, I think I might suggest some Catholic schools? Not really sure, but it seems, like the above post regarding Notre Dame, that there <em>tends</em> to be less diversity at Catholic and/or Christian Universities/Colleges??</p>

<p>unc is like notre dame that way</p>

<p>Vanderbilt University</p>

<p>Look to rural liberal arts colleges and Catholic colleges. Williams is the principal rural exception, and Georgetown the Catholic one. But at 9% Asian American each, the percentage is nowhere near as high as at the Ivies or at many urban universities like NYU or BU.</p>

<p>Indians and Pakistanis are South Asians. Southeast Asia refers to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, etc.</p>

<p>Case Western Union Reserve....</p>

<p>Most schools in the top 30-40-50 rank wise, that are NOT in California, wouldprobably really want to recruit asians because there are not enough diversity.</p>

<p>Case Western Union Reserve???
It's Case Western Reserve University.
Case or Case Western for short.</p>

<p>im like, part vietnamese, part laotian, part thai (altogether 50% and then half indian... how does that help me?</p>

<p>Lehigh seems to be looking.</p>

<p>connecticut college, trinity college, colgate, colby, bates, middlebury, hamilton, skidmore, union</p>
