My own dd applied to 2 schools in the south, and tbh, I wondered about racial tolerance at those schools. Sorry, but as a mom of a minority student, I though about how she would have been recieved in those locations.

<p>I believe your child is racially mixed or black. If so then a popular southern school will likely have a high number of black students. I don’t think all those students would be choosing to go there, if the environment was hostile.</p>
